Just update to version 0.9.23

Click on "Preferences" --> Click on "Toolbar" (in Interface section) --> Click to choose toolbar or menu to cutomize --> click on "The main toolbar" --> Move "Edit ToC" from "Available Actions" column on left to "Current Actions" column on right --> OPTIONAL you can use the arrow keys to adjust where it appears on your toolbar --> Click on the green "Apply" button and you're all set.

This sounds much more complicated than it actually is. It's pretty straightforward.

The Frog Prince (A Romantic Comedy) [Kindle Edition] Elle Lothlorien (Author)


http://www.amazon.com/Frog-Prince-Ro..._154606011_f_2

READ ALL OF ELLE LOTHLORIEN'S CONTEMPORARY ROMANCES:
*The Frog Prince
*Alice in Wonderland
*Sleeping Beauty
*Sleeping Beauty Wakes Up(Alternate Ending)

DESCRIPTION OF THE BESTSELLER:
It was his pheromones that did it. With one sniff, sex researcher Leigh Fromm recognizes that any offspring she might have with the mysterious stranger would have a better-than-average chance of surviving any number of impending pandemics. But when Leigh finds out that the handsome "someone" at her great aunt's wake is Prince Roman Habsburg von Lorraine of Austria, she suddenly doubts her instincts--not that she was intending to sleep with the guy. The royal house of Habsburg was once completely inbred, insanity and impotency among the highlights of their genetic pedigree. (The extreme "bulldog underbite" that plagued them wasn't called the Habsburg Jaw for nothing.) It doesn't matter that his family hasn't sat on a throne (other than the ones in their Toilette) since 1918, or that Austria is now a parliamentary democracy. Their lives couldn't be more different: Roman is routinely mobbed by paparazzi in Europe. Leigh is regularly mocked for having the social skills of a potted plant. Even if she suddenly developed grace, charm and a pedigree that would withstand the scrutiny of the press and his family, what exactly is she supposed to do with this would-have-been king of Austria who is in self-imposed exile in Denver, Colorado?

A handsome prince, gut-busting laughs, love, dirty ballroom dancing, pathetic commoners, sex factoids, Vienna palaces, cursing in German, random hilarity, little to no frogs. See why tens of thousands of readers have fallen in love with this Amazon bestseller! Because someday your prince will come...sort of.

Deadly Misconceptions (Deadly Series) [Kindle Edition]
Sandy Loyd (Author)
A ROMANTIC SUSPENSE NOVEL

http://www.amazon.com/Deadly-Misconc...154606011_f_65

PI Lucy Maddox, former thief, liar and have-not, spent her formative years as a runaway on the streets. She’s worked hard to rise above her past, and now leads a respectable life using her survival skills in a more honest way. Yet when the reporter responsible for getting her off the streets goes missing, she risks her respectability to steal a thumb drive. Lucy believes the drive, belonging to her missing friend, holds incriminating evidence against the last person the reporter interviewed before vanishing. The same man confiscated the drive to begin with.

Unfortunately, Jack Finnegan, nemesis and royal PITA, catches her leaving the scene of the crime, the office of a judge who is announcing his candidacy for governor in three days. Jack is the man’s top aide and campaign manager. Jack dealt with Lucy during her years on the street when he interned for the judge. Back then Lucy was a lying hothead who acted before thinking and refused to let the system work for her. Her accusations have come at the worst time. Jack’s not about to let lies and innuendoes ruin his employer’s good name. He believes, like everyone else, the missing reporter is on an undercover assignment and isn’t checking in for obvious reasons.

Jack joins forces with Lucy, mainly to prove her wrong and to keep an eye on her. From the reporter’s thumb drive they uncover a ring of high school girls whose behavior could only be characterized as bullying. Then things get crazy, starting with a harrowing near-miss that’s just too coincidental to be accidental. Plus, they’re being followed.

Jack and Lucy’s mutual dislike for each other disintegrates into mutual respect and their attraction builds. As both are drawn deeper into the mystery, they struggle to keep their emotions in check. And when they uncover the truth about the games the cruel girls were playing, Jack and Lucy realize they have fallen victim to Deadly Misconceptions.

Now this is such an easy fix!

Love this new feature. And yes, Penguin does seem to have an issue with including the Prologue in a books TOC. I don't know how many times I've complained about that.

Samhain's mid-month freebie is one of their Retro line

Wild and Free by Vella Munn (originally published in 1986 under Harlequin American Romance imprint) Kindle | Nook | Samhain

In the face of love, some hearts retreat. Others stand their ground—and fight.

After a difficult year licking her emotional wounds at the family ranch, Calley Stewart jumps at the chance to return to her beloved Montana wilderness to continue her work with the Border Grizzly Project. Determined to never again repeat the mistakes that drove her away.

When she meets the project’s new director, though, there’s no ignoring the magnetic pull between them. Dean Ramsey is a man so in tune with his surroundings, he moves in on the closely guarded territory around her heart before she has the chance to shore up her defenses.

Tracking grizzly bears is dangerous business, and the last thing Dean needs is a team member who isn’t wholly focused on the project’s critical research. Except before he’s even laid eyes on Calley, the sexy sound of her voice through the trees sends a jolt of electricity up his spine.

Their work carries them to the wilds of Alaska, but the shadows of their pasts follow. And when they face the ultimate test of courage, those shadows threaten to cloud the path to safety, to their future…even their very survival.

This title was previously published.

Patience is hard, indeed! But it's a thrill when it pays off! lol I'm not sure about a specific Amazon feature, but I add those I'm watching to my 'wish list' and check it often [daily?!]. I noticed today that one I had on there, the price had changed, and it even had marked the price decrease. That's the first time I had ever noticed it 'notifiying' me of a price change. Maybe that's what Blossom had referred too? I also watch them on Luzme but that doesn't check the price daily either.

I am 30% done with the Reckless. So far so good.

Oh, I'll definitely have to check out eReaderIQ, that sounds like a very helpful [addictive] feature!

And when you talked about Amazon,when yousaid wishlist did you mean it just shows it in the list as a price reduction or is there a feature that actually emails you or something?

Yep that's what I am talking about. It now shows the price drop info on your wishlist. Much easier to keep track of prices now.
