Yeah, as mentioned above, I'd just import your books into the Kindle App. It doesn't give the descriptions that purchased books do, but I don't think any ebook readers do when they're not directly purchased from that store. If you're buying kindle stuff, you can use https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle to send bulk books over 200mb at a time and read them there. It's what I've been doing, and the kindle app is something you already use, so it saves you bloat.
Plus, the search function works for non-purchased books in the kindle app too, as long as the filename is correct.
Hope this helps!

@GeorgeMTO I looked for something like that didn't find ^^
Thanks you very much appreciated :)
Also i put the post it in the wrong forum i guess, so sorry.

A little late—but goodbye! Well, if you are reading this then that means you are back—so welcome back!

In any case, keep doing what brings you happiness!

I'm not sure why an old thread was revived for this but the question posed here is misleading to begin with.

Why don't you include dollars in the translations?

Any translator/editor worth their pay will include dollars when it makes sense. However, 99% of the novels feature a Japanese person in a fantasy world so it simply won't make sense to use any currency other than the local currency and whatever the protagonist is familiar with.

In a hypothetical situation where there's a British protagonist I'm sure that expressing currency in pounds will be considered, even if the source mentions yen.

They last did that before I became a premium member, and I did that a couple of years back.
It's a rather long time since they last did.

We had one in 2020, so we've really only skipped 2021 and 2022.

2021 is when Kadokawa acquired J-Novel.
Then there was the transition from credits to coins.

It may be a nonmeaningful coincidence that there haven't been any sales for the last two years.
Doesn't change that there haven't.

@Rahul-Balaggan Thanks for the reply!

@Lily-Garden said in Any advice on breaking into Proofreading?:

This is just a thought off the top of my head, but given the JNC writing contest is going on you may be able to offer free proofreading services to those of us working on our stories for submission. Obviously I don't know if that breaks any of the rules or something, but it would be a good way to get experience proofreading and would help those of us who don't have a lot of experience writing become better writers.

That is a good idea. However, I just enrolled in a few classes using a New York State Department of Labor program. So I'm going to be too busy until after the contest. Also, it feels like something that should be against the rules if it isn't already...

@Shiny I'm definitely going to be asking my writer friends to help me by letting me proofread their work as practice. Thank you for your advice.

@jpwong Hmm. I’ve not looked at the back of the previous versions so far, I didn’t realize that they were only higher res and not textless.

Oh well. It’s not like higher res can be easily noticed on an iPad screen.

@Rahul-Balaggan Thank you 💕 for answering my question so quickly. I am so frustrated not being able to find information about a book I am really into. I know that the language barrier has a lot to do with not being able to find the information I want.

@Ren-Jace-t6s6dv7 nvm I had to log out and restart and I received them

@Cooper-Cummings-gk5u8qq I hadn’t heard of that E-reader range. Thank you, I’ll look into that.

@myskaros Yeah can not exactly tell teh source. I choose as metadatasource Amazon, Google, Kindle Hi-Res covers and Open library. So anyone of those could have the cover.

@jpwong said in New Member Questions:

That (green expires date) is the date that the volume will stop being available to read to members

Thanks for confirming this for me. I had been thinking that I would not have time to finish a lot of JNC books but it seems there is enough time to get them done.

I read a lot of books between what I buy directly, Kindle Unlimited (I mainly use KU to read LitRPGS and some mystery novels)a and now JNC series.

@ScarletIce I think it was this one: epub update summary

@myskaros said in Bonus short stories for premium membership:

@heimdal7 Only directly here from our site.

Ah crap, Guess I'm gonna have to rebuy a few books.

@jpwong Thank you for your answer. :)
I sent a mail to the support team in hope for this matter to be solved quickly.

@kumowoon1025 Mistranslations and skipped sentences are definitely things we'd be happy to have reports on.
We try our best to maintain a certain quality level here but we can only do so much checking on our end and mistakes, even bad ones, do come through.
Sometimes it's just a translator having a bad week, sometimes it's indicative of a more significant problem, and if we are notified about it, we can at least address it.

So basically, if you're noticing a LOT of the kind of pretty cut and dry issues you like the above, that's not so much "corrections" as it is "send us an email and let us know to look into the quality" level.

We can't guarrantee that we will agree with you (we have plenty of people whose opinions are... not correct), but we at least try to be responsive to people trying to help.

@myskaros sorry to rant about that, but I've done a lot in mobile games, so every chance I have to rant about Apple I'm contractually obligated to take :p
