Unimpressed newbie
Submitted a Review Request (yay!), received the URL in my email addy to submit my book (sweet!), attempted several times to upload book and found myself on a Russian dating site instead (what the ... ?)
Um, having second thoughts.
Isn't there, like, a real person to send copies to? Or is it all automated.
(sigh)

Did you get an error message when you tried uploading the book? What happened exactly when you tried uploading it the first time? You say you tried several times, did the same thing happen each time?

Not quite sure what to do now. Maybe try again? (scratches head)

Like I said, the only way I could imagine you ending up on a Russian site from this site is that there was an ad displayed automatically by Google and you accidentally clicked it, but that wouldn't cause you to be repeatedly redirected to the same site and it also wouldn't be possible if the site is very scandalous (e.g. R-rated or illegal) since Google does not allow such sites to advertise on it.
Pressing your back button could have been problematic, and may have even been generating an 'already uploaded' error but since you didn't see such an error message and were ending up on this other page, some other problem(s) must also be going on. The only thing I can think of is that there was a 404 error on our end and a hijacked browser issue on your end.
