I used to have everything nice and sorted, but it was too much at a certain point, so I removed everything and now I only have a few collections left...."


Too much, for sure. I even stopped using the collection folders b/c I’d fill them so full I’d get overwhelmed by too many options + too many “collections” 😆
33903 The Boox devices look cool, Amyiw. Thx for sharing. Looks like a good alternative to the kindle, if needed. Kinda looks like the ReMarkable tablet.
33903 I think I now understand what you were saying with this announcement. I haven’t had the "Download & transfer via USB” option for … I can’t remember the last time I saw it as an option. Even now, when we should have a week remaining to use it, it’s not an option for me. You should be able to see the transfer option under ‘more actions’, right? Here are mine: https://imgur.com/0mr6izL Is the transfer by USB option only available when your kindle is connected as an external drive?

Since I’m reading on a kindle I’ll be fine (if/until I change readers) b/c ‘Send to Kindle’ will continue to work for any books I borrow or purchase elsewhere. Guess, like you said, we only bought the “reader’s license,” so we don’t own the books. I’m fine with that, as long as I have access to those books at any time, I guess. My issue will be (if, hopefully never) they decide to limit or completely remove that access. Now that is something I don’t think they’d be able to do since it’s been purchased. But, what do I know.

33903 If I'm understanding your question correctly, you should be able to access all of your books (those purchased (incl. freebies) from Amazon and those you've purchased elsewhere and added to your kindle via the link: https://www.amazon.com/hz/mycd/digita...

You can sort by:
Books - those from Amazon / free & purchased
Docs - those books purchased elsewhere and added to your kindle

To add books I purchased elsewhere to my kindle, I use this link: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle. From there, you need to go to the previous link and chose the book to "deliver or remove from device". Of course, they say you can remove from your device, not your entire library by using that same option, but you can't 🙄 Everytime I've tried I get the "you're deleting this from your entire library" warning, so I don't do it. All my books are there, read and unread. I just manually remove them from my kindle, if I need to, but that's more of an OCD thing vs a need-the-space thing.

If you're trying to reaquire your book's file (.epub/.mobi), you should have it saved on your HD in your Calibre files.

Hope that helps.

33903 I'm SO far behind on BBD. I enjoyed listening to them on audio, but I don't have (take) much solo audio time these days so it's fallen by the wayside. I'll likely return to it (eBooks though) at some point, esp since there seem to be half a dozen spinoffs at this point.

Agreed.

I recently discovered another I dislike: Lily Ganser
I'm so thankful I can return audiobooks to Audible for our credit back.

33903 I agree, Lis. That's actually the series that got me on my hunt for "worth the hype" books. I've read all three so far, too, and my ratings have decreased .5-star with each book (Book 1 5-star read), but I still enjoy it a lot and will stick till the end.

33903 Is there anything better than ... finding a group of people who share not only your love of reading, but also fantasy-related series? 😁 (I 💕 my SOSers!)

33903 My husband & I have watched that full series multiple times and really like it. Same with Santa Clarita Diet 😆 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5580540/
