Amazon book packs
I have brought a number of Amazon book packs in the last month, ( Killer Thrillers amongst others. I only just put them on my kindle paperwhite, to read. The annoying problem is they show as packs rather than individual books. This is really annoying. Is there a way to make them appear as their individual books that I am missing ?
Any help or ideas would be great

thanks

Ok, that is what I thought they were. As far as I know, there is no way legally (in the US) to separate them because they are in essence one book.

Of course with Alf and Calibre it is possible. For more info google Alf, since discussing stripping DRM is not allowed here.

I think he's referring to collections of books.

I think the other term is an Omnibus edition.

Remove DRM. Convert to epub. Install and use epubsplit plugin.

And then presumably convert the separate books back to Kindle.

Not sure what would be illegal with the example book. The book is DRM free so following jgaiser's suggestion shouldn't be a problem (if you find DRM removal a problem).

Thanks for that, I was hoping I had missed something on my paperwhite. I usually put all my books from amazon direct to my computer and keep a library in calibre., and load my paperwhite from there. Just we are doing mass renos in our house, so physically getting to my file serve computer is impossible. So I directly downloaded these book sets from amazon to my kindle.

Again thanks for the help.

I usually do, just these packs gave me a bunch of new authors to sample. I know better next time.
