FYI you can add any font you want to Moon+ however Moon+ won't read books with DRM.

Do you use Calibre at all? If so, adding the Alf plugin is very easy (take a look at steps 1-3 here). Once the DRM is gone conversion is easy (I can post step by step if it would help).

Android readers which support Adobe DRM (that I can think of) are...
Mantano
Aldiko
BlueFire
Universal Book Reader
PocketBook
Ebook Reader (from ebooks.com)
ADE
NeoSoar

Atunah · 03-11-2016, 09:10 PM

sigh, thanks for telling me that moon won't work with drm books. I been trying like a lunatic to get my phone to use it to download the books.

I just can't figure out how to use a plugin other then to liberate my kindle library. I tried, I just can't figure it out. Not a clue.

My tools are years old, I mean years like 4.0 something old. I can't even figure out how to put new ones in as I can't figure out how to get the old ones out. So far I can still use them on kindle books and I do not want to mess that up. I cant' even remember how I got that to work in the first place.

thanks for trying to help though. Not really sure what else to try at this point. I went through all my options I know how to do.

Both books of the Caroline and West series by Robin York on sale.

Book 1, Deeper $1.99 [GR rating 4.04 with 5,489 ratings]
book 2, Harder $4.99 [GR rating 4.02 with 2,617 ratings].

These were both a rare 5 star read for me, the writing was just beautiful.

FYI, this is a pseudonym for Ruthie Knox, one of my favorite contemporary romance authors. Unfortunately, she's been taking a break from writing and hasn't put out any new books recently.

Kobo's crazy pricing on new releases on the South Africa site strikes again.

Fire Touched (Mercy Thompson #9) by Patricia Briggs is 21,99R
(I used one of the 20% universal coupon codes on this so after coupon code, VAT and currency conversion and credit card fees it comes out to about $1.34 US!) I'm very happy this was high on my wish list.

Marked in the Flesh (Others #4) by Anne Bishop is 27,00R so it should end up being <$2 after taxes and conversion.

Midnight Marked (Chicagoland Vampires) by Chloe Neill is R 12,99

Awesome! Grabbed Anne Bishop's book. Thanks, apesmom!

Hopefully book #3 will have a price drop someday as it's the only book in the series that I haven't gotten yet.

Atunah, do you have ADE on your PC? I use that to download books from eHarlequin. Once they're downloaded on my computer, I can add them to Calibre which strips the DRM. Even with an older version of the de-DRM tools, I think that would work. I don't recall having to configure anything to get the DRM stripped from ADE books once I had any version of the tools in there. I don't think configuring them was necessary.

Checking in: I just finished No Turning Back by Tiffany Snow. It was a five star read for me even if I found it really predictable. Starting book two in the series thanks to Prime Lending which I haven't used in a long time.

Weekly Report:

Read:
Nothing new, but should finish Caressed by Ice in my complete Psy/Changeling series reread tonight.

Purchased:
none

It's difficult, but I am being good with my promise to myself to only buy books on sale or if I plan to read them right away. There are some April titles I want from Harlequin and I have free book coupon codes galore for there, just haven't gotten around to purchasing them yet this month.

Nora Roberts posted a bit about her move to St Martins on her blog: Fall Into the Story

She also verified in the comments the In Death series will continue

Thanks for this instructions. After what took me forever to figure out how to even get a book into that digital edition thing, I found out it doesn't work. When I try to put in calibre, I get the its drm'd notice. I have no clue how to do this. I don't even know how old my tools are, how to find them or even remember how I did it so long ago.

eta: I attempted to put in new tools, deleting some first, not sure what I am doing. But its still showing drm. So no go with adobe digital.

No clue what happened, closed all the stuff out and suddenly had 4 of the same book in adobe and one managed to open in calibre. I might possibly have gotten this to work. Testing with another

eta 2.0 Hemmi, I am sending you a bucket full of sunshine, chocolates and margaritas. It worked. I can read the Harlequin books.

I only got 2 books this week.

One from the harlequin site oldie historical:
An Impetuous Abduction by Patricia Frances Rowell

and a time travel
A Knight to remember by Cynthia Luhrs (3 stars)

Hemmi · 03-14-2016, 07:26 PM

Yeah!!! So glad you got it to work. I wouldn't delete any old tools and I think even the early versions of them striped DRM from EPUB books. I always download the EPUB from Harlequin, find where that downloaded, double click it and it will automatically open up ADE and download the book for me. As soon as that's done, you can add to to Calibre and the DRM is stripped.

Now you can use those free Harlequin coupons!

Endeavour Press

The Turning Point by Phyllis Mallett

After her son and business partner drop the ball on a huge hotel acquisition deal, hotel mogul and widow Barbara has had enough.

She packs her bags and flees London for a much-needed holiday.

Her aimless driving leads her to the very hotel her company failed to take over - and its captivating owner Jim Farrell.

In a whirlwind, Barbara falls head over heels for Jim, his lovely children, and the peace of country life before she has a chance to tell Jim who she really is.

In spite of threats such as a jealous front desk clerk and a business partner more devious than Barbara realized, Barbara begins to imagine a new life she never thought possible.

She knows she needs to tell Jim and his kids the truth, but doing so could wreck the only happiness she has been able to find for years...

The author has published several historical and contemporary romances and mysteries, including 'Deadly Inheritance', 'Love in Peril', and 'Tides of Love'.
