Yes and so does Fictionwise. Problem is I bought the others from the FW last year.

That is what I meant to clarify. Thank you so much. I was so busy clicking away that I wasn't concerned but now that I have purchased so many books, I was being lazy and not even checking. Then Blossom posted that she had duplicates and I held my breath.

I can clarify that it does not always give a warning - some of you may recall that last year they switched to epub-only, and if a book was previously purchased in pdf, there is no warning. I learned this yesterday when I used this opportunity to replace an unread pdf version with an epub.

Venus · 01-16-2012, 10:39 PM

I just went to the Harlequin website to print a list of all the books I purchased. Is there no way to get a printable listing without all the book covers. My laziness this week is really coming back to bite me.

Nope. What I do is throw them into Calibre and then use save to disk to export the epubs into a folder. I then use a free program called Directory List Print Pro to print out the list.

You should be able to just "re" download your purchased books in ePub. Harlequin has replaced the other formats with ePub whenever possible.

I had a bunch of books I had originally bought as LIT and I was able to download them all as ePub without rebuying them.

I was able to do that for one, but this other one had to be re-purchased. I don't know what the distinction was, but for five cents I wasn't going to worry about it.

I'm reading a Susan Mallery right now. Love her!

Same here but there is a few books that have gone missing from my bookshelf since they switched over.

Thanks, I haven't downloaded any yet. I still have to learn Calibre, but this was very helpful for when I do.

They replaced LIT's and MOBI's, but not PDF's. PDF's remain on your bookshelf for downloading (even though they don't sel them anymore).

I guess because Adobe still suports PDF format and Mobi and LIT are no longer supported maybe

There are some Harlequin books at ARe that are only available as PDF I would like to buy, but I dislike PDF a lot (and that's what I always bought when I first started buying digitally, so I have a bunch). Maybe I should email Harlequin and see if they will be releasing them as ePub any time soon. Now if I could only remember where I wrote the titles down.

Harlequin has cut us off. I couldn't use the coupon code today so I called them and they said that it was meant to be used only once. I told them that I had called them last week and asked if I could use the code for as many as a hundred books and the person that I had spoken to had said that it would be no problem. Now without warning they shut it down. I asked why they didn't post that on their website or send emails out to those that are using the code, since the code was to be valid until January 31st. They said that they have no explanation, but the coupon code was not available as of this morning. I am glad that I got what I did, but I think that Harlequin could have handled this better. I am most glad that I don't have to use their website any more, it was a nightmare. Thanks to all for our fun journey through the Harlequin coupon code.

eh...figures I waited too long to start using it. Right now I just need them to fix my account so I can access my bookshelf...I emailed them Sunday night.

Don't email them. Call them. The phone number is posted on this thread. You should still try to use the coupon code, maybe they didn't shut you down. Although I am sure they do these "cut you off" things unilaterally.

texasnightowl · 01-17-2012, 12:15 PM

Well, even with my bookshelf locked at the moment I can still access the cart and attempt to apply the coupon (just can't go further due to error) and when I attempt to "recalculate" with the coupon it says the coupon has already been used. :< So it is shut down. I only managed 4 books. :<
