Here's something. As we know, Butterfly Betty is reposting her stuff. She is/was decently popular, or so I thought, hence i tried reading her stories. I say tried because my hang up with her writing is that whenever someone speaks, she uses a dialogue tag. I can understand if there's more than 2 people, but reading her stories is incredibly fatiguing for me and I'm not sure I can do it.On the subject of Kindle Fire/Ipad vs. Kindle, I would wager because you're dealing with LCD displays vs. e-ink on the kindle. There's generally much less eye fatigue. It's the same, IMO, if you read on your phone.
You know, I might not mind an AN saying "see pic on profile" But her AN's are longer than the paragraph would be without them. And about stupid things. An AN where she rants because babies come out all nice and clean on TV rather than covered in blood. Or one going on a long explanation of a charity where you can donate cars. And this doesn't include the huge AN's at the beginning and end of each chapter. And this was a popular fiction back in 2008 based on the number of reviews. I think this is true. A lot of the early fics had AN's in the middle of a sentence explaining stuff. You don't see it as much anymore. This is why I complain here rather than in a review. I really try not to write negative reviews. it surprises me how few completed Married in Vegas stories there are. It could be such a great category. And I've read a few that started well before being abandoned.
So you know how I have my fanfic on my Google drive? And it's mostly epub? I do a search for whatever story I want to read next, click on the epub file & it tells me Google can't open that file. Would I like to open it with another program? One of the choices is iBooks. I click on that and it downloads the story into iBooks. Now, I will say this. Be careful about reading any tablet at night. If you find you are having lots of crazy dreams when you don't normally, or if you feel like your brain is running all night, it could be the iPad. Kindle or other e-ink readers don't usually give off a lot of blue light but the tablets and computers do. I keep going back to my basic Kindle for reading before bed. I sleep better. The Kindle fire, however, is just as bad as an iPad.
Yes, Ok... So does that mean my Calibre has now turned into a dinosaur?? Is it too complicated to hook it up to itunes?I've been using this app on my phone, and it has been helping! The name alone made me wanna try it out Looks like its only available on Androids though. You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
So I got stuck on a Married in Vegas kick and am slogging through Hitched by Nollie Marie. It seems to be one of her first fanfics. Parts are good. But she does all the bad, annoying things - AN's in the middle of sentences, bad grammar and spelling, etc... But what really makes me laugh is it is so obvious she has never been to NYC. And she doesn't understand being rich. Edward's family owns a pharmaceutical company. Yet he and Bella eat at Olive Garden and McDonald's. They use McDonald's drive thru all the time. I've been to NYC and never have I seen a drive thru. And they drive everywhere. Who drives in NYC? Oh, and my favorite! They went grocery shopping at Walmart. Because you can find Walmart in every big city (not). Sigh. Doesn't she watch any TV whatsoever? Thanks for letting me get that out of my system. There really aren't very many good and complete married in Vegas stories.
I live in New York, we do not have a Walmart in any of the five boroughs of the city. We've fought hard to keep them out because they squash the small local businesses. We drive outside of Manhattan and have drive thrus, I don't think there are any in Manhattan though.
I wonder if it's any better if we read on the dark background instead of the white one? I always read on my tablet at night. I don't sleep well, but that goes back WAY before I got a tablet, lol!
Yes, Ok... So does that mean my Calibre has now turned into a dinosaur?? Is it too complicated to hook it up to itunes?
I'm sure someone on here knows an easier way, but as an owner of several iPads I use Calibre to download/organise etc and then transfer to iTunes by dragging my Calibre Library folder to iTunes and it transfers all the epubs and leaves everything else that's not needed and it only takes seconds to do. This probably isn't much help, sorry.
Should I get the desktop version of iTunes? Or do you do it online? Thank you!
I use the desktop version. [emoji2]
Okey dokey!Also - Someone mentioned the Kindle Fire HD being the worst for blue light... That's what I've had the past 2 years, so I'm already screwed I guess
Interesting. On my phone I use one of the night themes for my reader app, Moon+ Reader Pro. That said, I tend to somehow prefer negative displays (dark background with white text). Maybe there is something to that.EDIT: I'm reading the flounced fics thread and it's very informative.EDIT 2: In one of the Fan Fiction groups on Facebook there's a thread about what Edward or Bella you hated the most. Links are provided (unless the story is pulled). I'm really curious how long the thread will stay civil.
