Can we cross-post our book reviews to Amazon?
Is there any problem if we post reviews that we write for onlinebookclub review team to Amazon? It takes me a while to read and review a book, so would like to take the opportunity to boost my Amazon review count if I can.

You aren't allowed to do so. The guidelines clearly state that we can't: "The review is exclusive to OnlineBookClub.org, meaning you cannot post it on another website". You can only write a different review of the book or summarize the review in different words.

Yes, please don't cross-post the review to Amazon. However, I greatly encourage you to post a quick blurb in new words to Amazon as well as it helps the author get more of what they were looking for by sending us a free review copy of their book. If you mention you reviewed the book officially at Online Book Club (I doubt Amazon would let you put an actual link though), then that's great for the site too.
