In learning mode, I like using Edit Book. It helps a lot to read the Editing E-Books section of user manual first, and work with freshly downloaded retail book formats, not yet converted, without a multitude of formatting problems — rather than starting with known problem-plagued formats, which in hindsight was a mistake I made last month. Then remove unused CSS rules, check book, see what is what, refer to CSS and HTML tutorials as necessary, and fix things. Those are generalities. I don't want to discuss specific formatting nuts and bolts in this thread, since the thread's scope is broader level. My bad — by asking specific nuts and bolts technical questions here a few weeks ago, I violated my own scope. Digging a hole in the woods with a spade is indeed an alternate method. ((Edit: deleted a paragraph examining potential hazards of that method. Though thread scope is broad, it is not quite that broad.)) Last edited by unboggling; 04-30-2014 at 09:49 AM. Reason: Scope pruning. |

Quick note of thanks (and a bump) to unboggling and all the other users who have contributed so much valuable information in this thread.
This would be a great sticky. |

Forum policy does not allow for any help to be provided here on removing DRM and related issues. You need to ask where you got the plugin.

Also, re quoted post, now I "beautify files" rather than "remove unused CSS rules", don't bother to "check book", and usually don't need to refer to tutorials anymore. Last edited by unboggling; 10-02-2014 at 03:38 PM. |

There are a lot of premium usenet providers at fairly low cost. For 2 gig a month as low as 2 or 3 dollars a month.

Fantastic guide, thanks for sharing. I'm curious what system you used to organize your ideas.
Most of my questions are geared towards understanding your choices or clarify my thinking. a) You set the series for individual books to (1)[1] for sorting reasons but it doesn't appear to be any different from leaving the field empty for that subset. So why? b) Why not use tags at all? Genres fulfils the same purpose - so why not use tags & keywords for example? Why create two custom columns/fields entirely? c) Why use " , " instead of " & " as separator for keywords and genre column? It causes the tag browser to break out "fn, sf" and "sf, fn" as two separate categories and the "sf" category won't bring up books tagged with "fn, sf" or vice versa. **Edit** I just figured out why I had that behaviour - I had checked "contains names" when creating that column. Don't understand why but that explains (c). Last edited by please55; 12-06-2014 at 11:56 PM. |

This sounds like a very useful guide, but I can't find it anywhere in the thread! Was it moved elsewhere?
