Series consolidation

KindleChickie · 08-19-2012, 05:38 PM

I started buying a series on Amazon. I had an issue with Amazon and now buy from other places. The last 3 books of a 21 book series are from B&N. I am suddenly feeling "messy" and want my series to be consistent.

What is the easiest conversion? Should I try converting 16 books to ePub, or just do the 3 to mobi? If I convert the 3 can I use Amazons cloud or document feature to store them? Or should I just be content with them store in calibre.

This is just a personality quirk. I like things organized.

You can concatenate the epubs together in the series order (using the 'merge epubs' plugin), and then when you are satisfied with how the epub looks, you can then convert it to mobi to make an anthology before re-sending it to your kindle.

You can convert the 3 to mobi. If you email them to your Kindle email address, they will show up in your archive (i.e. on your amazon cloud drive).

Thanks both. I like the anthology merge idea.

It has been years since I used the send to kindle feature, but I don't think it was difficult or expensive.
