Free and bargain romance ebooks in September 2013

[Atunah]

Thank you so much apesmom and library addict. I am usually good at following instructions and once I figure something out, with help, I am on it like a cat on catnip. Is there a place to find out what "codes" to use for different things? I mean how does one now about all the = and > and all those thingies.

Click Create Virtual Library
Virtual library name field = (type a name)
Search Expression Field = date:>7daysago and not tags:"F"
Click OK.

ETA: I see Apesmom types faster than me

Ok, I got the excluded tag going now too. I tag my freebies and I tag my purchases so its easy. But when I only had the last 7 day code thingy I tried to exclude both the freebies and my library books. But it would only let me select one minus on the tags. With this part of the code, how do I add another exclusion. Do I just separate by a comma? Its like another language.

You add another and field, so for two tags:
not tags:"=Futuristic" and not tags:"=Silhouette Desire"

For more on what coding to use see http://manual.calibre-ebook.com/virtual_libraries.html

ETA: You can also experiment by clicking on the tags, formats, series, etc on the left side tag browser and see what the search field actually says. To select or deselect multiple items hold the Ctrl key (in Windows, not sure about Mac). When the item has a big green plus on it it is selected to display, click again and a red minus sign means everything with that item will not disply. This works for Author names, Languages, Series, Tags, Publishers, etc. Then you can simply copy the coding as it appears in the search field at the top and paste it in the search expression field in the virtual library popup screen.

Thanks, I did it. . And thanks for the link to the codings.
Of course I have no way of getting a screenshot on here as I have no place to host pictures, but hey, at least I got it for me.

No need to link to hosted pics, you can upload them. Click the paperclick icon (above and to the right of the weblink icon on the message config toolbar)

I didn't even see that paperclip. Duh. Thanks again. You guys deserve to get a salary for all this walking through.

Let me see if it worked.

Yay! I think it is easier seeing things demostrated than trying to read the instructions sometimes. I know I learned a lot watching the Calibre demo that Kovid has on the site. I'd been using Calibre for over a year when I first watched it and it was like "Oh that's what they were talking about"

I already own both. I usually go over to Kobo and use a good coupon because most inspirational romances are in the $10 range!

I do enjoy a good inspirational romance as long as it's not too preachy and the author's doesn't try to push her doctrine or beliefs on the reader.

I am trying to figure out WHY I keep buying books when I have more than enough to read for the next 2 years. That is not counting the paperbacks I have or the 300+ I got when I went to RWA. My son keeps telling me I need a new obsession since the house is over run with books.

We all have that problem here! You are in good company. I seldom buy paperbacks anymore. So that keeps hubby happy on one part.

BTW, anybody tired of all the billionaires out there? [No offense meant to people who enjoy them as I've enjoyed a few in my reading also. But man, there sure is a glut of them!]

Yes! I think it is due to that terrible series, 50 Shades of Grey. I hope the writing is better!
