[Tati]

They're all physical books!

[Marga]

Then, I'm definitely interested! And they're for free? *__*

[Tati]

Yep! Do you want the three Twilight books?

[Marga]

Status: I am on a reading hiatus and I. AM. BORED. OUT. OF. MY. MIND. I am not claiming my prizes on winning the challenge yet because I am avoiding books in general. Only 4 exams to go now though so... yaaay! :D

[Marga]

@Tatiana- Yeeees please! My shelves could use few more books. But... how would you send them? lol

[Tati]

By mail. So you'd have to PM me an address I could send them to

[Marga]

Annnnd hi Mishma! I'm pretty new here and I don't think we've interacted before but welcome back! :D

[Irene]

I was to be part of a blog tour. I've never experienced such a non-organized event before. I haven't recieved anything! Not a schedule, not materials, nothing! I was to post Aug 4 (today), but asked to be pushed back and then I was to MAYBE post Aug 6, but I haven't received anything. She's telling me the author hasn't send the materials yet, but still, I didn't recieve a schedule, not even a "this is your post date," just a "I think this is your post date" on twitter :| I don't think that's okay. I'm part of another blog tour in September and I've had my materials for two weeks already. And have known my post dates since a month ago.. I'll definitely be more picky with who I want to sign up with! :)

[[deleted user]]

@Tatiana I would like Smoke and Mirrors if it's sill available.

Let me know.

[Tati]

Klara and Lindsey, you got those books! Could you please PM me an address I can post them to?

[Pahel]

@Tatiana - I'm interested in the remaining 3~ ! Are they still available? :)

I hate blog tours like that. it really annoys me when they send me the material 6 hours before it has to be up (and I'm asleep) I haven't signed up for any for ages because it was really annoying me.

[[deleted user]]

This might be weird but what's a blog tour?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

it's a virtual book tour. so basically a blog tour will last for around 2 weeks or more, and on each day a different blog (or maybe 2 or 3) will have a review of the book on tour as the top post, or a piece written by the author, or a giveaway or something. It's basically a way to publicise a book, and there are loads of different people who do them. some organisers are good, and some not so good.

[[deleted user]]

Sounds interesting and kinda fun.

[Irene]

Yeah I'll be more careful in the future:-)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Lindsey wrote: "Sounds interesting and kinda fun."

It tends to be a good way to get review copies, but it isn't always worth the hassle!

[[deleted user]]

How does one get involved in one?

[Tati]

Pehel, yep! Please PM me an address i can send them to :)

Bit of a stupid question here: I have a Kindle Paperwhite, that I had set to show the remaining time in the book on the bottom of the page. When I wanted to see how much time was left on the chapter, I'd tap the top of the screen.

However, it decided to update last night, and now, I can't get it to show the time left in chapter when I tap the top of the page. Instead, it shows me something called 'loc', which I can't figure out. Does anyone has a solution for this?

loc is just 'location' ie - how far into the book you are, which is originally the only measurement the kindle's did. Is it just happening on one book or all of them? i sometimes find that some books don't have the chapters marked properly, so the kindle will only tell me time remaining for the whole book, and location, not how long left in the chapter.

[Tati]

It's happening on all of them... And also, my collections now have a star in the corner of the folder...

Oh, i had this problem a few months back. It was driving me insane!

For the the Collections do this:
There's things in the right hand corner (in the same line as where it says "Cloud/On device" The first one has to be "My items" and the second ha to be "Collection" Just click on the line to change it to that.

I can't remember how i got my progress back on. Will have a look to see if i remember!

[Abi]

Ah okay, i remember how to get it back now.

Go into any book, press the top to get the menu up. Click the three lines in the right hand corner, then click "Reading progress" Then you choose what you prefer. (Location in book, Time left in chapter, Time left in book or none)

[Abi]

Also, before in the collections you just had to press "delete from device" to get rid of it. Now you have to press that, then remove it from the device. Otherwise it just stays there greyed out.

[Abi]

I think they just added the stars to make it look better. You can't get rid of them, but it doesn't mess the collection up or anything.

[Tati]

I just found out that all the books I had deleted are back!! This update is driving me crazy!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

These kindles drive us up the wall at times!

[Tati]

They do! It's the first crisis I'm having with my Kindle...

Do you know how can I delete books from the cloud? I find it annoying that books I delete from the device still show up in the cloud. And no, doing that via Amazon doesn't work...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I have no idea. the only way I can delete stuff from the cloud is to log on to amazon, go to 'manage my kindle', and delete stuff that way. I haven't found another way to do it.

[Tati]

Dang it... I have books on my Kindle (most of them, actually) that don't show on Amazon, as I didn't get them there.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They should still show up in the cloud. it confused me the other day because they've changed it, but you have to change one of the little drop down lists to 'docs' for non-amazon purchased books to show up.

[Pahel]

Hey guys I've been thinking of upgrading my Kindle to a Paper white but am not sure if it is worth it, if any of you have a Paperwhite, can you tell me if it really is like all the hype around it?? :)

[Abi]

I have a paperwhite and love it.
The backlight is really good, and doesn't hurt my eyes at all. The pages turn really quick, and being able to make collections is really useful. (You can't make collections on the kindle fire. Not sure about the others.)
I'm not sure how well the GR button on them works though, because i have the previous generation one.

[Tati]

the one tiny blip I have with it is the updates. The most recent one completely messed up my collections (books that had been deleted reappeared with no option to delete them).

[Pahel]

I'll give it a try! Thanks you'll! ^_^

[Dana]

A ex-BFF contacted me yesterday...which was so freaking weird. She wants to talk again...but idk if that's a good idea because our friendship ended because of her bf. He wanted me to admit that he was (let's say smart) and I wouldn't so...he told her to cut me off...

What would you guys do?

Sorry if this isn't the right place. I just wanted to share this!

Hmm. I'd say it depends on how long ago this was

[Lovetoread]

About 3 months ago....
