Hi,
How do you find sub-genres out of the main ones listed under books? Ex. under romance, new adult or young adult.

I'm having this issue too, is there a way to fix this? I tried to add .epub on the end but it didn't work.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere.

Just one question about ebooks - is it ENGLISH only or books in other languages can be posted?

The blue arrow is a single-click for premium users. Free users need to click the actual link or copy it to a file downloader of their choice.

The majority of requests are for English language (the site default), but there are users who request books in other languages, too. I've seen French and German the most. And it costs nothing to try. :)

No no, not requests, I have a great book in other language (Serbian) that I'd like to share so I thought posting it here.

Yes, it is possible to post a foreign language book in the Releases forum. Just follow the standard posting guidelines but put the language ref in the subject, like so:

BookTitle by AuthorName [SERB] (.ePUB) <-- Language goes in brackets - [] - and must be before the format but after the author name.

Remember that in the subject, the author name must be as shown on the cover, but the title can be shortened, just so long as it makes some sense in its' native tongue. A Serbian language book that has a title the equivalent of "The Big Book of Serbian Delicacies" should not be shortened to "The Big Book of", for example. ;)

And if you have any difficulty, ask any ebook moderator online at the time and they'll help you out. :)

Cool, thank you very much. It is something I have scanned and corrected, converted to .epub :)

I am a premium user but still had the problem. I did find that going through the free way sorted it though.

I was trying to get this book, but even following the tip given, it was only returning an executable, not an ebook. I used the instructions here: https://forum.mobilism.org/viewtopic.php?f=19&p=1590162#p1590162


Not sure if it's OK to ask for a mirror. or if it has to be a request separately... One link is dead and file-up only gives an useless .exe file no matter how many times I try. Poster is inactive.

I am sorry but something must have gone wrong, there is no executable if you click the correct button:
