Poster Tips (suggestions / tips / noted issues)

eCalibre
I noted while posting books that the older version of eCalibre truncates file names.
Sorry about my earlier files - but I'm not going back to find the truncated names and fix them.
I'll just check and fix before uploading from this point forward.

Zip Files
Zip files are limited to about 9Mb, it will look like it loaded but it will never finish and your file won't exist

Someone coming new to the site might do a scroll through all the authors to see who is there.

About how to post for comics and manga suggest authors names in [ ]. I think we should follow their 'Must Read' at least in this regard.

I'd try the following because they are my sources (other than here) - others here have better sources so you might post in the requests section

https://thepiratebay.org - not near as good as it used to be
https://archive.org - but I think books from there will definitely have DRM and can mostly only be read on-line not downloaded.

If you have luck - Please start a thread and share [author] (genre's)

I was asked where to find books in another thread and thought this should be quoted here.

I also wanted to add people want different file name formats and different book formats.
For simple and easy file name changes I prefer to use Bulk Rename Utility

Bulk Rename Utility - Free File Renaming Software

Bulk Rename Utility: Free File Rename Utility for Windows. Bulk Rename Utility allows you to easily batch rename files and folders based upon many flexible criteria. Free Download.

For different book formats I prefer to use eCalibre

calibre User Manual — calibre 7.2.0 documentation

manual.calibre-ebook.com

but have used
Zamzar.com
in the past. It has been a while since I used them but I remember they had an efficient .jpeg OCR setup which I used for scanning in some of my old military documents into searchable PDF's.

Can you tell us how to download from storiesonline, I tried Calibre but the chapters aren't complete.

I have used epubpress plugin for Chrome. The process is: go to the index page for the story and open new tabs for each chapter. Expand each chapter page by clicking the Click to load text button until all the chapter is loaded. When all the pages are open in their separate tabs, select the plugin and tick all the tab boxes (except the index). Click download. The resulting file is bereft of metadata and titled weirdly but Calibre is a great tool for sorting that. It beats copy and paste and produces acceptable ebook files.
