So Im going through my QAF List of 'Must Rec'..(that I started in 2009)..lolx..and I now I need most of the ones i recced in PDF form because I now have a Nook..does anyone a complete file(s) of  Shannon Marie's fics? Her individual and series fics? If there is a website that has it in PDF form, can anyone point me there? I did look through the tags..and it all goes to her websites with no conversion instrument.

I can share too, by the way. Im thinking of converting all of the fics in MST to PDF..but I dont want to do it, if someone did it already and is sharing too..

Believe it or not. I had the same problem. I have a Nook too and had to convert my fics to pdf. I happen to have her stories and can email them to you. I remember it be a lot of work to copy them the first time, so I can empathize.

Heck! I just checked. I only have 11 stories copied. I can send them in word doc if you want to attach more. I guess I didn't get around in copying all of them. I know I have some individually.

"And if you need any fics PDFed, Im your gal :)"

Your on!!!

It's a lot of work trying to convert all my files, also because I can't remember the names of some to find them. And I hate having to copy them over again if I don't have to. This could be God's send.

Thank you!

Big Hug,

Sandra:)

Just a heads up, I'm not sure what nook you are using. (I have a 1st generation and so they could have fixed this in later models...) However, I had to convert all of my .pdf files into .epub. For some reason some .pdfs would have formatting issues which would sometimes give me one or two pages of very tiny font before going back to something that is comfortable to read. (Plus with the .epub I can alter the font size/text. I don't think .pdfs gave you the option.)

Since I started converting them to .epub that has not been an issue. Just something you might want to be aware of.

I'm not sure what ipad uses, but .epub is a format used by nook in general. I only suggested it because I had experiences with .pdfs not working correctly on my nook (extremely small font, varied font sizes during same page, etc).

However, Calibre is a wonderful program and what I use for converting. :) I organize all of my fics through it and converting is easy. You can download it from here: http://calibre-ebook.com/ (Plus it's free for such a great program.)

There's even some files I'll change the information for. I like title then author for my stories, but I understand that a lot of people like the authors first. You can also add tags, comments, etc to help with organization. It's great, there's also tons of tutorial videos that can help you out if you need any assistance.

You are so right. That program is a God send. I thought it was well know with Nook users, but that was an assumption apparently, LOL.

You sound like you have a lot of experience with it, Do you know why it deletes the second 'L' in a word at times?

You know, don't quote me on this, but at times I think it's the font that is used originally. Sometimes when I get .pdfs that I don't create I have that happen to me (not always, just sometimes) however, on files that I personally make myself I never seem to have the weird occurrences with the missing "l"s or missing quotation marks or having them replaced with "?" symbols.

No idea why that happens, but I wonder if that's a part of it. (I supposed it rarely happened I didn't go looking too deeply into the 'why' of the problem.)

I was just wondering if you knew how to rectify the problem.

:) It's amazing, you can convert a lot of files to the ones you need with ease. Although each time I turn around they update, they just keep getting better with each one. :D (And it's offered for free so such an excellent program! I donated a while back because there are others that aren't great at all but they are paid. Once I tried Calibre I never went back to those and I tend to recommend it to everyone.)

So wait you have more than one nook? You don't simply just change books and go back to others when you want? That's one of the things I love about it is because after a while if I need a break or change in pace I can simply go to a new book then come back to the other whenever I'm ready. (Or do you mean the nook apps? Because I have the nook app on my computer, my ipod, my laptop...)

Of course, I say this knowing I want to get the new nook with glowlight. I really love the e-ink, but would love to have it's own personal booklight without having to remember to pack one. <3

Do you remember doing that before e-readers were invented?

Yes! Which is why I was so happy to condense things down to just one device. LOL! Now I only have to worry about when I start working on my bookstack, I'll have to get used to carrying books around in my purse. However, the one nook it's always with me. Always. I've also started using the shelve features after months of debate to make sorting so much easier so I'm not scrolling through page after page of files.

I like their new nooks, I just prefer the e-ink to LCD screen which is why I never updated to the nook color or tablet. I stare at a LCD screen a lot so the break really gives my eyes a rest. :) However, I will upgrade at some point for the nook with glowlight, but other than that I'm good with the one I have. It's bigger than the new 'simple' ones, but I just think it gives me bigger pictures of Gale I can put on it.

Yes, I know, I use Calibre but you have to convert the docs to pdf before they can be converted to epub.
