How To Get an Updated Version For Your Nook

It has been brought to my attention that both Books 1 and 4 had formatting errors in the Nook versions that led to pieces of chapters getting chopped out. I've found the problem now and have uploaded new, corrected versions of the books to the Barnes and Noble website. If you have a Nook and have already purchased these books, you can follow the instructions below in order to re-download the freshly corrected copy to your Nook or Nook for PC app.

NOOK:

• Go to "My Library"
• Scroll to the book on the top menu, then on the bottom scrolling menu, select "Item Details and Options"
• Scroll down to find "Archive", then click "OK"
• Wait as the book is archived.
• Once it is, go back to select "Item Details and Options" in your bottom menu.
• This time, choose "Unarchive" and then "Download" the book back onto your device.
• Now you should have the updated version of the book.

Nook for PC App:

• Go to "My Library"
• Under the book, there should be a + sign with the word "Options". Click on the + sign to bring up the menu under the book. Choose "Remove Local Copy".
• Now the world "Download" should appear. Click on Download to download the corrected copy of the book.

If you ever have any issue with one of my books, please do not hesitate to contact me. I want to make sure you have the correct copy of the book and can enjoy your purchase, so I will do everything I can do make it right.

How to get Updated Book Covers on Your Nook

In light of the new covers I just released for my Peachville High Demons series, I thought I would talk about how to get these new versions onto your ereaders. Anyone who buys the series new will automatically get the updated version and the new covers, but for a fan who already owns the series, the process is a little more complicated. It's not super difficult, though, so I'm going to write about what I've learned so far.

With the Barnes & Noble Nook, getting the new covers is super simple. All you have to do is go to the B&N website, sign in, then along the top, you will see a "My Account" drop down menu. Select the option "My Nook Library". Scroll through your library and find the PHD series books you have purchased. Just under the DOWNLOAD button, you will see the option to "move to archive". Archive the book, then turn around and Unarchive it again.

The way I did this was by turning on my nook, finding the archived book (which at this point was grayed out), selecting the book and choosing to option to unarchive the book. The second I did this, the nook came up with the new color cover.

Now, the bad news is that even with the cover updated, the actual document is not the updated version of the book. I asked around on a few forums about how to get the new version downloaded to my Nook and the consensus seems to be that at this time, there is no way to get the new version onto your Nook. I am going to try contacting customer service to see if they will update my novel to the new version the same way the Kindle customer service did. I will update this blog post as soon as I have an answer from them.

If you have more information on how to get an updated version of an ebook to your Nook, please feel free to comment and let me know what your experience has been.

Updated Versions and New Covers

Just a quick note to let you know that I have finally uploaded new versions of all three books in the Peachville High Demons series. This is something that I've been meaning to do for a long time, but the process was a little more involved than I originally anticipated. In order to make the formatting process easier, my amazing husband has been writing his own programs to help automate the formatting. It's been a work-in-progress since the first book came out in October.

The original BEAUTIFUL DEMONS manuscript had a minor formatting error where some of the paragraph returns didn't show up on the ereaders. What that basically did was run some of the dialogue together instead of separating it like it was meant to be. Over the weekend, we fixed all of those little issues. I also spent some time over the past few weeks going back through all three books and editing them for errors. Luckily, other than the formatting thing in book 1, I didn't find a lot of errors. Hopefully, I caught any remaining spelling errors or inconsistencies that I didn't catch before.

All three books have a fresh new look too! As you saw, I have brand new covers for all of my Peachville High Demons books. Those new covers are now uploaded into the Kindle and B&N stores as well as the Smashwords store. The new cover and versions are available right away in the Smashwords store, but if you want to buy or replace your original download of the books on Kindle of B&N, you'll just have to wait a little longer until they actually go live. This can take them anywhere from now until probably Tuesday. Hopefully sooner rather than later! I'm excited to see if the fresh new covers increase interest in the series at all.

Tomorrow I'll be blogging about how to redownload a book onto your Kindle or Nook if you want to update the cover. I had several people asking if they'd need to rebuy the book in order to get the new cover to show up on their device and the answer is no. There is an easy way to replace the old version and get the updated one, so come back tomorrow to find out how!
