At the same time, we were planning to raise funds for Second Harvest Food Bank. We talked with our partners (Books On Board and Mighty Bright) and they had some great ideas too. Then the local Starbucks Coffee wanted to help. Our staff pulled everything together in the spirit of giving and came up with quite a great way to help others.” This special and festive gift pack will end December 11 (to allow time to ship).

I wish I had waited and ordered this instead. Mine came with Halloween stories which I have no use for.
I'm tempted to return mine and order this instead! |

That would be ok too, except I accidentally ordered the wrong color (blue) and it doesn't match my Pontiak Aztek (maroon). ;-)
I can live with the color difference if I HAVE to, but it seems a waste to have all those Halloween stories that I'll never read taking up space. I know, I can delete them, but if I'm the same way with ebooks that I am with print books, they will never leave. |

 Just move them all, over to your computer. There is nothing special about the files. Copy them back and forth as needed. |
