• New York Times bestsellers: $3.17 per E-book. These include titles that were New York Times bestsellers at any time, irrespective of when you purchased the E-book.
  
• Non-New York Times bestsellers: $0.73 per E-book. These E-books include any titles that were not New York Times bestsellers.
  

The State of Minnesota did not participate in the first settlements between the State Attorneys General and Hachette, HarperCollins and Simon & Schuster. Instead, class counsel represented Minnesota consumers and negotiated a settlement with these three publishers. This recent Minnesota-only settlement required payment of a higher percentage of damages than did the Prior Settlements. Minnesota residents will, therefore, receive a higher per-book payment than other consumers. Minnesota residents will also be subject to different conditions than other consumers and are encouraged to review the detailed notice found on the Minnesota only residents' website by clicking HERE or by calling 1-866-621-4153.

Didn't even know this was coming and got 26.78 from this, sweet! I do find it odd that I'm getting credit for overpriced books but it seems to me that Kindle books are more expensive now than they've ever been (for the most part).

All I want is for this reader to hit the shores at a decent price.

I've been repairing the really awful Table of Contents in a large book in Calibre, the problem is that there's hundreds of stray TOC tag things in the HTML files in the format of "<p id="ue261af8b-3721-436f-9b36-437ec202f947">" and the like where the faulty entries led. How can I clear out these unused id tags so that only the ones for the actual entries remain?

withak posted:

In the "Convert" dialog there is a search-and-replace section. Hope you like regexps.

Install Windows posted:

There is no convert dialog in the edit book system/workflow.

withak posted:

I've never used the edit tool. The S&R option is under the dialog that you use to convert book formats. Right-click -> Convert books -> Convert individually...

I guess you are supposed to make the ToC corrections in the editor then strip out the leftover tags in a conversion.

withak posted:

Is there a way to customize the new, working tags? Like give them some identifying info that a regexp can detect?

Also, does leaving a bunch of dead ToC anchors in really matter?

withak posted:

Yeah but does it actually affect how the book works/looks?

withak posted:

I don't know exactly how ToCs usually work or whether there is other important formatting stuff in your file, but can you strip out all of the html and regenerate the ToC from scratch?

Is there a guide anywhere to managing collections with calibre? (or managing collections via a PC at all) I tried following one, but it looks like the plugin was removed from mobileread.
