Some Lisa Kleypas on sale for $3.99 at Amazon.

I've read her book Suddenly You and will definitely be picking up some of the sale books.

I hope I can find a way to transfer to Calibre so I can convert to a format that my Kindle will read. Any ideas on how to do this? So far I've found the folder with all my Kobo books on my PC, I renamed each file to .epub and opened with Calibre, however it only shows the title and author, no other metadata or book contents load. (This happened with the Captain Underpants titles I bought for my 7 yo but it was nbd to read those on my phone or tablet since they're not text-heavy and have a lot of illustrations).

I've never been able to get this figured out in the 3 or 4 times I've had this happen. I always tell Kobo I need to be able to download to read with ADE and request a refund.

If you figure it out I'd love to know!

Google "obok kobo". There is occasional discussion at Alf's place.

Yes, I've requested a refund already. The last book I had formatting issues with (it opened in ADE fine but the page breaks were messed up) Kobo refunded me pretty promptly. I looked up obok and already use the plugin tools for Calibre from Alf's place but this is much more complicated.

There's a lot of Rachel Gibson for sale for $3.79 at Amazon.

A lot of people seem to love her. I'm on the fence. I read Not Another Bad Date and was very disappointed. I think I'll try another one of her books before I swear off an author with such high ratings, but I am dubious.

What do my fellow romance threadies think?

She's one of those authors I want to like and just don't seem to connect with.

I liked Nothing but Trouble by Rachel Gibson. I haven't read anything else by her. Her newer books, I've noticed, haven't gotten great reviews.

I bought book 1 in 2012, still haven't read it. Previewed a couple of chapters, and now that I realize these are free books, had to have 2 & 3.
