If you access your Calibre library in other ways (such as DropBox) and and need the AZW3 (or Mobi) files available that way then a bulk convert will do the trick with most/all books, although it can take a while. |

This, I completely agree with. This is why DRM is so very evil.

You wouldn't have to convert your entire library at once. Just convert as you go. It's what I do. I only convert what goes on the Kindle. I buy epubs all the time. I convert them to Kindle (mobi) format because every book on my Kindle must go through Calibre first because I am dyslexic, I need to format it a certain way so I can read it comfortably. When I do convert a book for eReader Ready status. I convert it to mobi and epub. So I always have both formats ready to go. Out of my massive 10,000+ Library only 600 books are eReader Ready and on Dropbox when I need them. |

The trick is: "Insert line between paragraphs"

I hope this is the right place for this. A Place Beyond Courage by Elizabeth Chadwick is Amazon's Deal of the Day for 1.99

Free @ Amazon & DRM FREE @ Kobo
Shadows (A Lux Novella) by Jennifer L. Armentrout Lux Series 01 (Aliens YA Romance) Publisher: Entangled Teen (February 20, 2012) Audible is $2.99 if you can stand the nasalily whiny sounding narrator. I'm telling you this is fate! Was I not saying the other day I was going to give this series a try and then BAM! Here the first book in the series goes free! Okay I just bought Book One to go with it used a 50% off coupon and got it for $1.67 I'll wait and see if I like it before buying the others and I will need some help from our Kobo Code Angels next trivia game.

I check them both because it cleans up some of the mess that self published novels have making each paragraph to have the right amount of space. Especially if the book was made in Word before converted to ebook.

Those are my settings. But the space does not appear on the Kindle. It does on every other device. I must be doing something else wrong.

Hmm do it to a public domain book then send it to me via PM and I will look at the internals and try to figure it out for you.

--->Blossom & anyone who hasn't read this series yet. I have this series but haven't started it yet. I was checking on Goodreads and found that people say to read Obsidian (Lux #1.0) before reading Shadows (Lux #0.5). Shadows was released after Obsidian though it is a prequel. They say people who read Shadows (Lux #0.5) before Obsidian (Lux #1) were confused about certain things, whereas people who read it in the publication order (#1.0 first, then #0.5 second) didn't have those issues.
--->Can anyone here who has read the series confirm this too? I don't usually like reading prequels after reading the next book in the series, but I will make an exception here if it's the better choice. Thanks to anyone who can clarify this! Quote:

I have some sad news to report. I haven't seen it mention here but Harlequin Blaze and Temptation author Cara Summers/Carolyn Andrews passed away a few days ago. I just saw Maggie Shayne's Tribute to her friend on Facebook.
I have several of her books but I have not read them yet. |
