Sorry, calibre newbie here. So you mean converting a ePub to a ePub? Or use some sort of plugin?

Yes, ePub to ePub. The processing will automatically break apart the files into chapters.

Wow, quite a deal! It's $147.82 at B&N, which is list price according to Macmillan (odd list price).


EDIT: So I went ahead and used some of my remaining settlement credit to buy it (down to $20 now). Now I need to not be lazy and get this sucker split up right away, otherwise I'll never do it. I see there's a collection of the shorts/novellas (all?) in the series too.

I'm really tempted even though I stopped reading these after Acheron. It would just about finish up my settlement credit.

I haven't read as far as you and like some better than others (didn't own any before this), but for that price I went ahead and jumped. Not that I needed anything more to read.

For those of us who are more visual I attached an image showing what all you get. Splitting wasn't bad, although I haven't gone through each file to see if it needs tweaking yet. Word count for the whole thing is 2,240,721 according to the count pages plug-in.

That's where I stopped too. I've wondered occasionally if it would be worth picking it up again, but I was so burned out by the time she got to Acheron, I think I'd just rather re-read my favorites from the early days of the series.

Does anyone have idea how long it's going to be discounted? I have to wait Monday.

I didn't get the email/newsletter I wonder if I dropped off somehow. Anyone else not get it that normally does?

I either have or don't want most of those momofkings linked, so I guess it's no big deal, but still, I kind of look forward to those free par-tay fridays

The only one of these I recognize and have read is Friend-zoned by Bella Aurora. I really enjoyed that book and it's sequel, Love Thy Neighbour (and apparently she has 2 more coming out for the series). I'd say the .99 price is worth the price just for that book 'Course, since I already have it, not so much - anyone else read any of the others? It's soooooo hard to pass up these box deals but I'm really trying to be good, so if I don't at least recognize the authors, I've been passing them up unless someone I know gives a good rec

I didn't get it either. Dunno if it hit my gmail spam?

Friend-zoned is the reason I bought it. Good to hear.

Free from Amazon: two books by Laurie Breton. These appear to be self-published, but she has other books with Ellora's Cave and with Mira/Harlequin.

Redemption Road US DE, the fifth volume in the Jackson Falls series.

A decade ago, she walked away from everything and everyone who had ever mattered to her. Now, she has to face her past in order to find her future.

Whenever Colleen Bradley Berkowitz had imagined her homecoming to the tiny town of Jackson Falls, Maine--which hadn't been often--she'd imagined sweeping into town on a wave of triumph. Never had she pictured herself limping in with empty dreams and emptier pockets, behind the wheel of a car that should have long since met its destiny in the crusher. Forced to depend on the goodwill of the sister who's a virtual stranger to her, Colleen has just two goals: to avoid all family entanglements, and to escape from Jackson Falls the minute she has enough money socked away.

But life is what happens while we're making other plans. Her sister is determined to rebuild their precarious relationship. Attractive single dad Harley Atkins and his twelve-year-old daughter, Annabel, start worming their way into her heart. And when the son she left behind shows up at her door, the stakes are raised, forcing Colleen to reevaluate all those bridges she burned years ago.

REDEMPTION ROAD is a heartwarming story about love, about sisterhood, and about second chances.

Coming Home US DE, the first volume in the series, is a repeat freebie.

From the USA Today bestselling author of Final Exit comes an old-fashioned romantic saga about love, marriage, friendship, loss, romance, rock & roll, and a woman's search for herself.

One man became her husband.

He had the face of an angel, and a voice that could tear your heart to shreds and leave it bleeding. Songwriter Casey Bradley is just eighteen years old when handsome, charismatic singer Danny Fiore crashes into her life and her heart. The first time she hears Danny sing, Casey is ready to toss away her entire future for a man who's almost certain to break her heart. Danny has a white-hot talent and a single, blinding ambition: to become a rock star. Neither of them plans on falling in love. But sometimes, the heart has a mind of its own.

The other man became her best friend.

Guitar wizard Rob MacKenzie doesn't have Danny's looks, or his charisma, or his sense of style. Tall and gaunt and bony, Rob isn't a god, just an ordinary mortal, an easygoing guy who wants nothing more than to write his songs, play his guitar, and find the right woman. But life is never quite as simple as it seems, and his search for Ms. Right keeps leading him down all the wrong roads.

Together, they became the holy trinity of rock and roll.

When Rob MacKenzie and Casey Bradley Fiore begin writing songs together, the result is an unstoppable hit-making machine that catapults Danny Fiore to stardom. But the road to success is littered with land mines, and life with Danny isn't all that Casey expected. Rivers of darkness flow through her troubled marriage, and every time Danny breaks her heart, it's her best friend Rob who picks her up, dusts her off, and glues the pieces back together. It isn't until she suffers an unimaginable loss that Casey begins to question who she is and what she really wants from life. As she searches for herself amid the wreckage, she discovers the bittersweet truth that the choices a woman makes at thirty may differ vastly from those she made at eighteen.
