Looking for Don Silver thread Toxic Attraction chapters

I wish people would stop using the pdf file format for stories. My eReader hates them, and getting good results when converting them is hell. One could argue that pdf files should only be used for print, not screen. If anyone has a good way of converting pdf to epub, please send me a pm. I realize this thread isn't the right place to discuss technical stuff.

I use calibre and have it configured to automatically convert any file I import into epub format.

Calibre settings:
  • Turn on auto-convert - Preferences - Adding Books - "Automatically convert added books to the preferred output format".
  • Set the preferred output format in Preferences - Behavior - "Preferred output format" and select epub from the drop-down list

I'm using Calibre, but didn't know there was an auto-convert feature. I'll check it out. I do find the resulting epub files lacking in quality though. Paragraphs are split, usually the last line, and words are occasionally concatenated. You also get vertical text sometimes. The file is still readable, but my perfectionist mind finds it annoying.

epub creation is messy because no one adheres the the standards. Add in the variations of different PDF creation software and the PDF standard that doesn't contain text (but vector art instructions that draws the letters) and you have a nightmare.

I scrape some stories into a database and find converting pdf to epub in calibre cleans up the underlying text. I then use the html files within the epub , scrape away the html tags and am usually left with decently clean formatted text. I find copying and pasting text straight from pdfs messes up line breaks and characters thanks to unicode ligatures. TLDR: calibre may not be good at making clean and easy to navigate and read epub files, but they do a good job of converting the text.
 
Read WifeyFetish's Getting the Grade. Starts off ok but is a bit rushed and there's too much sex, making the sex boring. Disappointing compared to Unsatisfied and Unforgettable Birthday. But Why Him was very good but I'm apprehensive about reaching the final chapter. The hinted ending would ruin the series for me.
 
Say no more
I don't understand why the authors make the husband so weak. In 5 chapters, the husband will turn gay. David will look at Tom's penis, say how big it is, and transfer the company to Tom's name, dress as a woman, and give Tom his ass. The authors are losing their way; the husband is also increasingly ridiculed in every way and environment. David is humiliated at home and at work. And the wife takes her husband for granted!!!! All that's missing is Alice not achieving the same; the husband has another woman but only gets off watching his wife having sex with another man and doesn't even realize it. The stories are repetitive, all the same clichƩs; all that's missing is for the husbands to become gay and change sex. In David's case, he'll give the company to his wife all because the man has a big penis. The story is ridiculous; the husband didn't even complain about being abandoned. And he barely thought about the secretary.
