I don't have anything in my profile other than the pic I uploaded. I think Blossom and I both have the same 3 month free subscription from the magazine so it should have the same drop down. Strange that one.

I remember seeing the option for free month with some social networking before I signed up. I just checked and the option is no longer there in the profile dropdown. I signed up for the free month and just assumed you had to pick one or the other.
Has anyone use the scribd app on the new Onyx reader? http://www.amazon.com/Onyx-BOOX-T68-...=onyx+boox+t68 They are talking about this in the news forum. Looks like an eink reader that runs android apps. That would be great! |

I was prompted to sign up for these during the signup process for the 90 day "moremagazine" promotion, but the offers are available at the URL. |

Oh, oh. I see an "system update downloaded" click to install on my Nexus again. Browsing around this seems to be 4.4.4.
I'll let Blossom be the guinea pig again. I am afraid it will break Scribd again or something else. |

It's disturbing to notice that some books which I have read, are no longer available, and books in the same series, which were on my list, are also not available. These are smashwords books.

I haven't been on there in at least a week. I'll have to check mine. I've been dealing with other Smash issues (ie overdrive and no covers showing). |

Either the author opted out which is easy to do or the author remove their work from Smashwords. I've seen authors all the time pull their books from Smashwords.

But it's not all of her books. So must be some error in there.

It might be that they weren't supposed to ship and the author caught it. Or there was some other error. Sometimes the wrong info gets shipped and so on. I once had someone else's covers appear on my books at B&N. My description, my book...wrong cover! |

I have that issue too. I added like over 100 books now in my library and some go away. The other day I had a weird one. I had some Kathleen Kirkwood titles in my library and they were through Smashwords. Then I noticed no cover anymore and when I clicked, it went nowhere. So I searched for the author and found them listed just fine, but under Draftsomething now. So I added those and deleted the smashwords ones. Its like she had them first through Smash and then switched to Draftsomething.
I know both services offer to go to Scribd and I wonder if that author hit the button on both sites and because Scribd saw duplicates, deleted the older ones automatically. Who knows. Its wierd sometimes how I can't find a book by title, but find it by author, sometimes I find it, then not again and later its back. I browse Sribd by romance-most recent often to see what was added and within a day stuff that was there as recent is suddenly gone again. Poof. There seems to be some fluctuation going on. At least the gone books are still as place holders in the library so I can search for them again if I need to later. |
