Still no books to review. Are books released at a certain time each day? I'm wondering if I'm missing out because of the time differences between countries... I did get an email invitation during the night to review a book, but it wasn't available in the morning.

Based on my experience, books are added to the list at different times of the day. Since you are a new member of the review team (joined earlier this month), I assume you are at a lower level. As a result, you will not have access to many of the books at the moment; the ones you will have access to are on a delayed basis. Basically, the members in the levels above you have a chance to select them first, and then you get to pick among "the leftovers" after a period of time.Guppy wrote:Thanks everyone, I appreciate the replies and reassurance. Thanks also for the calibre tip.

If you would like more detailed information about this issue, go to your Review Team Page and click on Score. Then scroll down to the bottom of the page to read an explanation of each level and the time delays for access to the review books. Hope this helps.

Yes! You do not have to pay for kindle gifts. All you need is an Amazon account and the kindle app, both of which are free! The amazon account will ask you for a credit card number or bank account, but you do not actually have to pay for anything unless you put it in your cart and check out.CatInTheHat wrote:Amazon kindle gift does not require a paid subscription.

Some of my favorite books were the "leftovers" when I first joined. I am sure you will move up the levels quickly and have more choices.Guppy wrote:Thanks everyone, I have added Kindle Gifts. Now to wait for those leftover reviews.

That's great! Actually, I don't have Kindle Unlimited and always found available review books to choose from, even when I first joined. My advice would be to keep Kindle Unlimited after the trial period if you like it for other reasons (not just to have more review choices). Personally, i wouldn't keep it otherwise. As you do another review or two, you will find more choices opening up for you that don't require Kindle Unlimited.Guppy wrote:Thanks Bookowlie. I ended up with Kindle Unlimited (for the next 30 days anyway), and as soon as I updated my preferences there were 3 book reviews to choose from. They're probably leftovers, but I'm happy with the choices and the first one I reviewed was surprisingly good
