No, Amazon don't keep things in order - a marketing ploy?? But I'm beginning to wonder if KJ Charles is using it as a marketing ploy too! Have downloaded the Interlude with Tattoos - thanks. But so far as I can see, the deleted scene only comes along with the special edition and as I've already bought Flight... I've also bought Think of England which looks as if it could be interesting.

If you have a Kindle, like me, your library is quite carefully kept and if I had time I could organise it. *g* I assume Kobo do the same? If I buy elsewhere in mobi format or in pdf to convert I keep things on Calibre, which is lovely to organise and aids upload to Kindle plus blurbs, notes, ratings, etc. And you can make/add gorgeous covers to fanfics on it. I also keep a record of books read (and another of fanfics read) because I don't keep things on Calibre unless I intend to re-read, but I have to admit that I don't always consult it and hence end up with e.g. two copies of A Case of Possession (which was on my Amazon library - *head desks*) or re-reading a fanfic I wasn't wild about in the first place!!

Eventually, we will have our shelves back. Eventually, my books will not be languishing in boxes, unseen, un-searchable, etc. Eventually, I might even get some of my books back from my daughter... But meanwhile Calibre and Amazon are a much safer bet. I also use Kindle for PC which is a free app that lets you sort and search your Kindle library on your laptop and gives you all those covers full size and in full colour! I don't find it at all difficult to go back and re-read favourites. I do find it hard to get rid of things I don't want. I accidentally bought a murder mystery that turned out to be some kind of fundamentalist Christian propaganda and of course if it had been print I would have disposed of it.

I do still buy printed books. Some series I started in print and want the whole lot in print e.g. Melissa Scott's Points books. And some non-fiction is better in print both for the illustrations and for ease of searching/glossaries/etc. But if it's new fiction I'll always wait for the e-book version.
