I'm just going to forgo my 71¢

Many authors I've seen have asked people to go ahead and spend their eBooks Bucks on the theory that there's no need for readers to lose out on their money too. A few have suggested if you want to help them to buy their books and leave a review somewhere.

I guess I'll wait and try later or in the middle of the night when there is less traffic.

Has anyone else been able to successfully load their website recently? (it's 4:15PM PST right now for me).

So sorry. I hope you can get in soon.

I had over $40 in ebook bucks (aaaaargh) but I was able to use 99% of it before too many books were pulled from the site. Without enough time to think it through properly, I ended up with some pretty ordinary books.

I am stuck with a pre-order that I paid $4.99 for that I guess I can kiss goodbye (Eve Langlais). I might try for a Paypal refund for that one.

Edit: I can't see me doing too many pre-orders in the future after this debacle.

I was a long term customer of ARe and Omnilit and had an extensive library there. Hate to think how much I had spent there over quite a number of years. Where's the loyalty?...

Contact the author. She may be able to help.

I rarely do preorders. I just don't see the point.

I do if there is a sale on the book I can't get otherwise.

It seems ARe is not refunding preorders. Send the confirmation email to Raevyn@ninestarpress.com. I will make sure you receive the book(s).

I was hoping to do a tick back of Calibre. I have around 450 books in my library with them according to them, when I could get on, but only 403 in my ARE folder, I'm hoping everything is in Calibre, it should be, but I need hubbys help with a tickback and can't do anything until Saturday. TBH it's the authors I feel sorry for, it's just awful.

Thank you Brian for keeping us up to date. A big thanks to the publishers who are stepping up.

I just downloaded a few freebie's from their Christmas promo that I hadn't dl'd yet. Very painful process.

Lot's of people on social media scrambling. Sounds like a lot of them have never backed up anything.

Josieb1 I used the Everything Search tool to search my computer for the books. I don't know if you are willing to download the program or not but it is very helpful in searching. I use this over Window's search.
