Feeling frustrated on downloading freebie books
I'm trying to download any of the books out there available for review, but I'm absolutely unable to achieve that simple task. I have the feeling there's something wrong either with me or with the usability of this web site.
Please, can anyone guide me through the process of downloading freebie books?
Thank you so much for your help!

If you want to download a book for review, you have to first join the Review Team. You need to have a minimum number of posts in order to join the team. Keep in mind that posts in the Feedback/Suggestion and Off-Topic sections don't count toward the miminum required posts. You can read the Review Team section of the FAQ's for instructions and guidelines for the Review Team. Hope this helps.

Thank you. Of course, I already read the FAQ. I am trying to join the review team but I can't see any "RT" link anywhere on my computer's screen.bookowlie wrote:You can read the Review Team section of the FAQ's for instructions and guidelines for the Review Team. Hope this helps.
- Step 2: Make sure you have a post count of at least 5, which lets us get to know you a little bit.
Step 3: Sign up for the review team page by clicking "RT" in the navigation links in the header of the forums, which will only be visible if you are logged in on the forums. That link goes the the "Review Team Page".

What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.

Anyway, now I am getting this message: "Authors are prohibited from using the review team."

You can submit your books for review (if you are an author) or you can be part of the Review Team, but you can't do both.george_bass wrote:Thank you so much! Can you please point out where did you get it?Gravy wrote:Here's the link.

The link for the Review Team is shown as RT and it is 2nd from the right on the top toolbar once you are logged in and are in the forums. Is it possible you are not seeing it because it is not available to you as an author who has submitted books for review before?
