This is the only Omnibus I've found and it contains the 3 following titles:

Monster Hunter International
: With the clock ticking towards Armageddon, Monster Hunter Owen Pitt must face down legions of undead minions—and the cursed family of the woman he loves.

Monster Hunter Vendetta
: Accountant turned monster hunter Owen made himself the enemy of the most powerful beings in the universe. Now an evil death cult is after Owen for revenge.

Monster Hunter Alpha: Earl Harbinger, leader of Monster Hunter International, is also a werewolf. Now Earl's greatest foe, an ex-KGB werewolf, has surfaced. But Harbinger is an alpha wolf for a reason, and he's not about to roll over and play dead.

Thanks for the reccy, Lea and Alan.

EDIT: Just like ridin' a bike. As soon as I'm finished Col Bailey's "Shadow of the Thylacine", I'm diving back into fiction again with Monster Hunters.

Thanks for the heads up on the Omnibus Edition, Andy_T.
I think you'll like it. I'm really enjoying it so far.

Ah crap, I just read the blurb for Monster Hunter Alpha and spoilered myself

Spoiler:
Earl is a werewolf


Dang it!

Yes that's the omnibus that I totally missed. It would have saved me a few bucks since I spent just over $6 for the first book.

I'm hoping these will last me until the point where I need to re-read Dresden files before Skin Game is released

I'd almost be tempted to re-buy the Scholastic paper editions just based on the first cover. Absolutely enchanting.

It's always bothered me that my copies of the series were not edition-matched. I don't care about first editions or any of that, I just want them to look like they belong together on the shelf, and right now they don't. This would be a good excuse to fix that.

And, of course, I do love that changing ebook covers costs nothing so that will certainly be happening.

I might buy them all in paper form again. My youngest daughter loves Harry Potter and I think she'll really like these covers. I'm definitely changing the ebook covers I have to these ones.

They're published by Baen so there shouldn't be any need for Alf, or you can simply get them from Baen which gives you every format you could ever want.

Here are all 7!

Christa...I just changed all 7 (actually 8 because I have both the UK and American versions of the 1st book) of my Pottermore ebooks to these new covers!

* Just added the newest cover that I can find for the UK book 1 to the other 7.

Can someone PM me and explain how to change the covers on mine? I think Calibre just shows the cover you import, but doesn't change it on the book itself. I don't want to take up unnecessary thread space since everybody else seems to know.

It was funny. I got my sister a used library copy of one of the later HP books and it was this thick thing and she said 'really'? I had bought all of them on audiobook as they came out (replacing the first 2, which were tape, with CDs later on) and that is how we all 'read' them.
