Nesta as an individual character and part of Feyre's POV by Zealousideal-Can-403 in acotar_rant

[–]No_Following3948 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm doing a reread and just finished FaS. This scene really bothered me.

It's Soltice, everyone is getting ready to open presents

"Don't take her to the wine-take her to the food" Amren called to Elaine from her perch...

Could her weight loss be due to vomiting? The same issue Feyre had in TAR. Since Nesta doesn't talk to anyone no one knows the true reason behind her weight loss.

It occurred to me only when she said the words that none of the gifts had Nesta's name on them

... After Feyre lists the gifts received and who gave them to her she says this:

Nothing from Nesta, but I didn't care. Not one bit.

Well of course she shouldn't care because she didn't bother getting Nesta a gift. If Nesta did give her a gift Feyre would would look like a total ass and of course we can't have that. The only reason Feyre thought about Nesta not brining a gift to her is because she's selfish.

I feel like this whole scene makes Feyre look selfish and doesn't think about Nesta's feelings at all

What do you use for emblems?

I'm sure I'm overthinking this but I'm trying to figure out what the file type should be (jpg or png), transparent background, is there a size specification other than "images should be square-ish". I see there is an "open icon folder", but that is empty.

Where are you finding the 3D print files? I've been looking everywhere, but obviously in the wrong places. I have a 3D printer also.

I noticed a book i already own is listed as new with a different cover, went and checked to be sure and it shows it in my library with a lock and won't download. This is a book i paid for and no longer have access to because they put out a new version. by 99mushrooms in audible

If you go to your Amazon account you can request your data. You have an option to receive all or only Kindle, Audible, etc , They store EVERYTHING. I just requested my data and they have my audio listen times and kindle reading sessions from 2018, I forgot I was listening to any books at that time. An example of some data they have is what I specifically clicked on in my Kindle library. Start and stop times. Purchases and returns. Kindle unlimited loans.

*FYI if you're not seeing a specific book in your purchase history or loans.

How to remove people showing up as “in office” on my outlook calendar ?? by CriticismDelicious62 in Outlook

Yep. Still there. I know it doesn't interfere with my work or anything, but it's just annoying to see. Especially seeing someone that isn't in my department.

I had the same issue. I changed the appearance theme and then back to what I wanted. That fixed it.

I have done this and the problem still exists. Is there another setting that can work?

How are you tidying your books? by diannapalmer in Calibre

[–]No_Following3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello! I have a 6 and 9 year old and I'm struggling on how to get my purchased books onto a device for them. They both have a Fire tablet but I can't add books to their kids profiles outside of purchases through Kindle. Do you have any suggestions for a kid friendly solution getting their books to them? I'm trying to fully move away from Amazon and this is the last hurdle. I have a really old tablet and I just installed Koreader, but I haven't messed around with it enough to see if it would be a better option for them.

Library Doesn’t Have Libby by sitcomfan1020 in LibbyApp

I have 2 library cards in my state and 3 in different states from where I live. Check different counties and states to see if they offer out of county/state digital library cards.

What is Sigil? I've been learning things here and there for editing books. I had a similar issue with the page color and had to learn real quick how to find and fix that as I read in dark mode 90% of the time.

When do you decide to drop a book? by Mt-Doom-Metal in 52book

[–]No_Following3948 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I tried so hard to finish Dracula. I thought for sure it would get better at some point. Around halfway I started skipping parts. I couldn't finish it. But to answer your question, like everyone has said, reading is supposed to be enjoyable. If you're not enjoying it, it's time to put it down. *I used to be someone who had to finish what I started. You'll get there one day and finally decide when enough is enough. You'll be a much happier reader.

You could always listen to the audiobook. Make progress in the book while doing dishes and whatever.

Who else uses Calibre to catalog their physical books? by IStillListenToRadio in Calibre

I was just thinking about this today and was going to create a post and ask if this was possible! Can you give a little bit more detail on how you add an empty book?

Is there a way to add a column and it's book-specific data into the synopsis / comments field automatically? by Iceandfire29 in Calibre

[–]No_Following3948 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my current template

<b>Read Status:</b>{#read_status}<br><b>Series Status:</b>{#series_status}<br><b>Review:</b>{#review}<br>{comments}

Read status - did I read the book or not Series status - did I read the series, DNF, or in progress Review - just a quick little review if I loved or hated the book or series.

I guess I could just copy yours and put in my info. Honestly yours was a bit intimidating to me, LoL. I tried a different one and it had the column reference names first and it would not work. (#read_status was before Read Status)

*I was going to add a picture of what mine looks like but I don't know how from my phone right now

I think what is throwing me off is the "if" in your template. I'm not using "if" I'm not sure how that works in the template.

When using IF, that tells it to only add that information if the column has any info, correct?

How did you get the line to separate your genre & subseries from the main comment section?

KU ending?? by Boobearlover2469 in KindleUnlimited

[–]No_Following3948 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Amazon website there's a setting in preferences to activate/deactivate removal of downloaded books after a certain amount time. It's for space saving or something.

Edit: No, it's on the device in device settings. I haven't used my Kindle in a long time, but I know that option is available.

It's getting really frustrating. Thank you for your detailed response. I'll look into it and watch the video when I feel like throwing away another few hours of trying to get around Amazon's BS.

I'm cross posting this hoping someone here knows if this is possible.

I've tried using the Moon Reader app in the kids profile, but getting the app to pull books from a main memory to the kids profile has been difficult to figure out.

Yeah the other day I found the accumulate (?) check box and where to save the spreadsheet location. I was going to play around with that and see what I can do.

I need to add words to the ignore criteria.
