Otherwise, you could prepend a series to the title. For my Tolino epos, I tend to use the series initials and index added to the book title. That is, Magnificent Devices [01], Lady of Devices, by Shelly Adina ends up as MD01 - Lady of Devices for the book title as show on the epos. |

- "books that it would just refuse to read large chunks of pages, among many other issues" - "wouldn't page properly" - "native OS is so bad I had to download a different system" I've owned many Kobos (and Sony, Pocketbook) not one of them had any of the above problems. |

I don't know what he's talking with the "native OS" part — Kobos use Linux, I believe. And the only time Kobo books have lost chunks of text is when I converted KePubs into ePubs and sent them to my Sonys. My work-around was to convert KePub to ePub, then convert it to AZW3, then back to ePub. Worked well. |

My current workflow is to run any epubs in my Intake library through Sigil and/or the calibre editor using Flightcrew for Sigil (epub2) and epubcheck for Sigil and calibre editor (epub2 and epub3) to detect and allow me to correct errors. I also use the Quality Check plugin for calibre with it's epub structure and epub style options for detecting many errors before they interfere with my reading. And no, GIGO does not stand for Garbage In, Gospel Out. I did take a look at his thread starter posts. Hmmm... his Kobo came without a wall wart. His Onyx M96 came without a wall wart. Calibre v2.5 does alternating colours for lines in the book list. Calibre 1.16 can't delete custom columns and he could only use text in a custom column. Evidently after multiple messages for that one, he restarted calibre and the problem disappeared. He didn't like his Kindle when his son passed it on to him. To quote his complaint there: Quote:
So yeah, I find it relatively hard to take his complaints about Kobo's customer service other than cum grano salis. |

IMHO, the OP has no clue what he's doing with Kobo & ePub.

I can't remember the exact quote about we now live in a world where the Internet records everything and forgets nothing but that should be close enough for the spirit to be understood. Quote:

As for whether you are a he, a she or a whatever? A matter of total indifference to me. It might be arguable whether the Internet in it's lack of cues as to gender, appearance, etc. is actually beneficial to communication but it does allow fewer complaints about bias -- it's hard to claim bias in a forum like this when you don't have the sensory clues.

I am a little lost? Do you mean book series? My Nook groups books by series on a tablet app. I think on the ereader as well ( not sure on the ereader....gotta check)
I noticed a few odd stuff like pages repeating or duplicating but I am not sure if that is the software/ereader or a publishing error |

As mentioned earlier, nothing gets forgotten. Message 1 from this thread which seems to have been severely edited. I'm going to resist the temptation to repost the other messages that suffered from editing.
