Just a thought about reviewing traditional paper books
When we choose a book to review, we have hit the button "Successfully downloaded" or whatever button to suit the situation. Would it be possible to implement a similar process for the author for when a reviewer takes on a book that is in traditional format? That way the reviewer could know when it has been mailed and can have a good idea as to when they could expect it. It seems like a fair idea to me. The author gets updated when the reviewer accepts and downloads the book, so why not the author press a button to let the reviewer know when a book has been mailed to them?
Thoughts?

Yes I have done two traditional paper book reviews and just recently accepted another one.gali wrote:Have you got any traditional paper books to review?? All of the books I have got so far to review were ebooks. It is a good idea though.
I like to do the traditional book when I can because I think it is refreshing. Everything is ebook now and recently I have started buying more paper books.

Nice! I would like a traditional book as well, but the books offered were mostly ebooks. I stopped buying paper books to save space.TrishaAnn92 wrote:Yes I have done two traditional paper book reviews and just recently accepted another one.gali wrote:Have you got any traditional paper books to review??

I went more than a year without buying and then the need to read a paper book struck and I went on a bit of a book buying binge.

I still buy paper books now and then, but mainly to complete series that I have got.TrishaAnn92 wrote: I went more than a year without buying and then the need to read a paper book struck and I went on a bit of a book buying binge.

I think when I did it I figured I'd just find the time every day or so to manually review each case where an author had reported a book shipped and a reviewer reported it undelivered... a common mistake on my part
