I did not get the first email either, but did get one when I tired to sign in.

Um, no. Still nothing.

Could that be because I don't actually use Adobe Digital Editions? My adobe account was created for my Sony PRS-950, and I use it with secure ePub and library books.

It may be U.S. only? Not sure but when you go to log in you can't it sends you a email with a password reset link.

Has anyone seen this one? It's a 99 cent BBW boxed set put out by some of the people who put out that recent rockstar boxed set...

Here goes:
1) Kobo -Howl for it (anth) - Shelley Laurenston - $4.64
2) Kobo - How To Entice An Enchantress - Karen Hawkins - 4.27
3) Kobo - Lord Langley is Back on Town - Elizabeth Boyle - 3.19

Read this week:
1) A Rough Wooing (S.S) - Virginia Henley - Pretty good, I gave it 4 stars.

3) The Wager-Rachel Van Dyken- A wonderfully funny light read, I loved it. I gave it 5 stars.

That's it for this week.

Yeah it was mention a few times. I'm on the fence. My problem is most BBW stories do not really portray us correctly.

I remember reading the Real Vampire series by Gerry Barlett which is really funny. Then I think it was book four or five the author comes out and mention the heroine is like a size 12!!

After that I could not read it anymore. In my book size 12 is still skinny! I threw the book. After that I just don't care to read what skinny authors think a BBW size is so I'm very selective on reading heriones who are called that.

I didn't get an email from Adobe....I thought it was only certain accounts that were hacked...

ETA: I got the email today (10/11/13). I think - as others have already commented - they're rolling out the updates over time to avoid overtaxing their servers.

The info Adobe posted did say they'd email you if you were one of the accounts affected, but from the posts of others it seems maybe they've decided to have everyone reset their passwords even if they didn't get the email that they were affected (I did get the email).

Now you've done it! This is about to become the most expensive book I've bought in 2 years.

Halfway through the sample and I'm hooked.

So what does BBW stand for. I have no clue.

. It has to do with size? I thought it was maybe some interracial books or something.
I am so not good with these abbreviations.

BBW = Big Beautiful Woman It just another word for Plus Size but it seems alot of authors think Size 12-14 is plus size!

As someone who shops in the Plus sizes I know that is not the case.

So presumably my account wasn't affected. That's reassuring, sort of. They shouldn't have let their servers get hacked in the first place.
