Kindle First - Page 8

pidgeon92 · 10-01-2014, 06:27 PM

I don't like any of them. The synopsis of My Sister's Grave looked interesting, but I read the first couple of pages and didn't care for the writing.

I went for The Fallow Season. The others seemed too much like the previous selections.

Anyone know why Alf is not working on the Kindle first. I've downloaded the book to be transfered USB.

I hadn't noticed, but Alf did not work on the KF OR the other two I just downloaded today as well (both from Kindle). I did confirm that my download prior to that (9/26) worked just fine.

Update: I just updated calibre, downloaded the latest Alf plugin, and then readded my Kindle books and they now work just fine.

Whew. That was scary. I updated Calibre and it still didn't work. Had to delete it from K4PC and re-download. Then it worked. Also when I first sent to K4PC the file showed up with the name of the book not the usual number. After re-downloading the file it showed up in the usual manor. Wonder if that had anything to do with it.

The Fire Seekers sounds best to me this month.

Manabi · 10-03-2014, 06:36 PM

I went with The Fire Seekers too. Doesn't sound all that great to me, but better than the others.

Piepan · 10-06-2014, 09:38 PM

I went with The Glassblower. It was a choice between that and The Fire Seekers but Iand didn't anything YA and I also don't want to get stuck with a cliffhanger ending as one review alluded to. Can't say I'm enthralled by the synopsis of The Glassblower, but felt the need to pick something and it was the least off-putting of the bunch to me.

Ended up going with Ticker, it sounds kind of interesting.

Jessica Lares · 11-01-2014, 05:29 PM

Went with The Unimaginable. It's pretty good so far.

tubemonkey · 11-01-2014, 05:47 PM

End of Secrets -- this was an easy pick, because I love espionage thrillers.

Romance - hate it
Fantasy - mostly hate
Crime - it's so-so
