Ebooks on NetGalley/Edelweiss
I actually clicked on
from the email and it automatically accepted the invite. But it's a chapter excerpt and says it's book 5 anyway, so I just sent feedback with the note I wouldn't read it.The others I'm just not sure if I'll have time to read.
Yeah, it really sucks that it is just a chapter excerpt, plus I haven't read the other books but I recently purchased an e-copy of the first book becasue it was on sale. So I'm just going to read the whole series then.

Yeah, got the email too. However it really wasn't anything good on there.

If we can read it in this week, preferably today, sure :)
...I may or may not have requested four books today and downloaded one read now. Ooops!
@Dana: I think I won't be able to start today right now, it's a little late here now, but I'm downloading it. You can start today if you want@Irene: I've done the same today. I feel like I've had too much chocolate for the day and now I'm feeling guilty.

Oh, that sucks! Is it books tht you really want to read? :)
I feel okay, because I have lots of excuses lol
I requested four yesterday as well as got approved of two within the hour. Now I feel bad because I wanted to cut down my review copy pile! :(
It's a bad circle, this book reviewing thing :(
Ahaha! A very bad circle thy I cannot seem to get out of!!

Haha, well, not really, but they were the books that I thought may be worth a shot. Now I'm going through the approved ones, I have only one left other than one Read-Now (that Zombies book above). I guess I'm fine so far.
I know it's a new translation, but it was sure weird to see Anna Karenina as available on NetGalley

So I just got approved for a book on Edelweiss for the first time today. I have a question about the expiration date. Do I need to download it by that date or have it read by that date? Do you get to keep the books like on Netgalley or do they get taken off your device?
I was wondering the same thing.
You have to download the book by the expiration date. You'll still be able to submit your review after that date. I ent think I've ever had an e-arc expire off my Kindle (or my Amazon account), but I have heard they expire off if Nooks (I don't have a Nook, though, so I don't know for sure).
@Kaitlin I agree with you. I have never had a e-arc be deleted off my kindle before but I am pretty sure that some of the other devices - Kobo, I think - do delete after a while. I don't have one those devices though so I am not sure either. :)
I just submitted my first edelweiss review and was a little confused. That part where it asks you to tick "submit to publisher" or "submit to indie" - what does that mean? I didn't tick it because I wasn't sure if I was meant to!!
@Rachel The "submit to indie" is for members of the American Booksellers Association, so if you're not a member, just click "submit to publisher."
@Kaitlin Oh, okay. Thanks! Oops. Can you go back and change it? :)

Dang it, The Orphan Queen is just an excerpt...
Mod
ha ha! We had this conversation the other day. the ******* didn't say it was only an excerpt until loads of people complained about it!
Yeah, they're saying it now, only it's only in the page where all the DRCs are listed. Not on the book's page... GRRRI guess I'll read it anyway, so I can have one review posted there
Mod
I hate when they do excerpts, especially when you cannot read the rest of the book for months, they should make it clearer :(
Mod
earlier this year.Is this going to be the future for ARCs? Because if it is, I'm not interested.
Yeah I'm fine when it is clearly marked, because I can avoid it, but it is very irritating when it is not.
Is it just me that can't access NetGalley?
Tatiana wrote: "Is it just me that can't access NetGalley?"No, I can't access NetGallery either Tatiana. Saying there is a connection problem when I'm pretty sure that's not the issue.
It's working from my phone.
Mod
Anyone knows what is that "Reviewer Exclusives" option that showed up on the Browse menu on NetGalley?
@Tatiana I just noticed that myself. No idea!
I just assumed that it was arcs that are only available through Netgalley?
I saw it yesterday too. I assumed it meant it was available for request for reviewers only and not for librarians...?
