Im a little confused about review team

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Im a little confused about review team

Post by MamaBookAddict »

Hello :) I joined the review team and it said I needed to have a least 10 posts before Id see a book list. I have I think 18 posts. I did post a few reviews in the regular forum but my review count still says zero and no books show up for me to review. Am I doing something wrong or do my posts have to be checked yet? I read the FAQ but still cant figure it out. Maybe Im having an off day, Im usually not this dense, LOL. If someone could help , Id appreciate it! Thanks and have a great day :D

You just need to keep posting and maybe post a couple of reviews of books you've already read. After a week or two you'll start to see books for review. Then you'll start to get points for official reviews. The more you do, the more books will become available to you. The Review Team Page is where you select books to review and get more information about the review team.

Yes, it says : "NEW: Your reviewer score is 23 and your level is 0. " It also says I only checked 2 of 8 ebook preferences. I honestly prefer paper books, but my kids have Kobo ereaders that I could always use so I only checked epub and plain text. Ive tried pdf and mobi on them before and they dont work. I dont know if any of the others would

Those are some of the reasons to your lack of books. There aren't that many paper books available for review and most of the books for review are ebooks. You can use programs such as Calibre to convert available formats to the one you use. That way you will have more choice of ebooks. Of course, you also need to participate in the community.

Hi, you can always convert one format into another using calibre software (takes less than 5 seconds 8) ). It is a go to software for people who read ebooks / own e book readers. Very useful for managing your virtual library and keeping ereader up to date. It will convert most of the pdf books easily into epub. :D
