Incomplete book
Sometimes when I add a book to my library the entire book is not there . Does this happen to anyone else and do they find it annoying

Add a book to your library where? Calibre, a specific reading device, a specific app?

There are some books that are put out in 'parts'. Very annoying.

The incomplete information in your question about incomplete books makes your question impossible to answer. This is liable to be annoying to people that would like to help.

This sounds like a Calibre issue. But we won't know for sure until the OP comes back and says so.
Any chance we can make first time users go through a training session on how to ask questions? Last edited by JSWolf; 09-17-2017 at 07:05 AM. |

That is, of course, presuming that they have filled in a location on their profile and it is sufficiently accurate and specific. Sorry Jon but you seem to be growing increasingly authoritarian. |

Global tolerance and empathy levels are trending downwards. So is quality control at many publishers. There is only so much employee pink slip-ing you can do before checks and balances get out of balance. I've seen a steady increase in complaints about BPH ebooks over the past few years. Books with missing or transposed pages, duplicate paragraphs, bad formatting... The same things that "bad" Indies are accused of. |

And maybe ongoing training for long time users on how to express their posts as opinions, not facts.

Example: Apples are horrible. That looks like a fact when it is in fact an opinion. Note: I am in fact not real fond of apples. They are way to bland. |
