As for Magician by Feist, if you want the single volume edition, go to Kobo or eBooks.com and travel to the UK and get the single edition version. It's £2.99 at Kobo and eBooks.com. Still cheaper then buying in the US. At Kobo it's $8.99 for each of the two parts. https://www.ebooks.com/en-gb/book/12...aymond-e-feist https://www.kobo.com/gb/en/ebook/mag...ar-saga-book-1 |

First encountered this recently, but the fashion started to stupidly add part of blurb to title and I don't know how long Amazon has been simply using web page title as fiiename. Path length when including parent directories can also be exceeded. I added this to Rant thread a while ago. |

I know it's a bit fat, but only having the first half and reading it first you might never read more , which is sad. |

If you missed these the last time they were free/on sale, the first two books are now free in the US and UK.

Windows doesn't allow the regular colon character, but you can use the small colon character (﹕) in file names if you really want a colon in there. (I believe it originates from Japanese, which is why it has the built in spaces around it.) I seriously doubt that's what Amazon is using and Windows will refuse to let you save the file with a regular colon in it.

No, Amazon is using a real colon. I either replace it with _ or delete it and rest of filename.
Another one today. They can be saved with a colon, but then backup fails. Stupid Amazon. |
