Ebooks on NetGalley/Edelweiss Showing 2,151-2,200 of 2,620

[Tati]

I'm at 85% right now, but I only have 9 ARCs.

[Dana]

I'm at 80%. Right now I'm finding it hard to get above that as I have 37 books I need to read!

[Tati]

I think there is an ARC challenge coming soon

[Sarah Elizabeth]

We'll probably bring back the review copy challenge for April ☺

[Dory]

Yeah, I've got about 70 Arcs, CR two, 28 on shelf. Its not drastic, but some of them I'm so behind on that my library has them in physical copies and i'm reading those instead of the eGalley.

Ill certainly be in that ARC challenge.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I feel really guilty when I have ARCs that I haven't read that have now been released, I have about 11 of them at the moment though.

[Dory]

I feel worse when it get achieved and i forgot to download it. But i get really annoyed when they accept you, but it archives the very next day, aargh!

How do you even pronounced that is it arc-hives or ar-chives?

[Tati]

I pronounce ar-chives

[Dory]

According to Google translate its arc-hives. (Ark-hives)

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'd say ar-kives, I have a leicestershire accent though!

[rachel, x]

I say it ark-hives! I have Aussie accent though.

[[deleted user]]

I say it as ark-hives. I have a nz accent .

[Dana]

I say it like Ar-kives. "soft" K. I have a Canadian accent.

The problem with being a bookworm (in my case anyways) is that I have a decent vocab but probably mispronounce 25% of the words I know.

[rachel, x]

Ditto. I am the world's worst pronouncer just because I am so used of reading words and not actually saying them out loud. Also I've gotten used to substituting "weird" words in my head with pauses - you know when you're reading along and seem a name like "Minerva" and your kind of think "min.." and keep reading without stopping to consider its pronunciation? I think that's my main problem.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I kept reading the word 'facade' and thinking fa-kade? what the fudge is that? Took me years to work out that it was pronounced 'fa-sard'!

[rachel, x]

Is it really pronounced "fa-sard"!

[rachel, x]

- sequel to : https://www.netgalley.com/catalog/sho...

I think so. that's how the kindle text-to-speech reads it.

[rachel, x]

Woah! I didn't even realise that. Oops!

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I didn't realise that the word I was reading was that word! I knew what 'facade' was, but i didn't know it was spelled like that!

[Abi]

I pronounce it ar-chives too

Apparently, gif is actually pronounced jif. It's weird.

[Elizabeth Emily]

I still don't know how to do text to speech on the kindle ipad app:')

I wonder if the UK will get the full book on offer soon? The book one problem we had was freaking annoying.

Someone was saying about text to speech on the iPad app on one of the team chat threads. Not 100% sure who it was, maybe Jackie?

[Sarah Elizabeth]

It was Berit - https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

Might be worth asking her, I have no idea about ipads!

[Elizabeth Emily]

Okay thank you:)

haha! I totally did that with Hermione's names :P...then I saw the movies and I was like "ahhh"

[Dana]

I say "fah-saud"

I think we all did it with Hermione's name! That's why she her explain it to Krum in the 4th book. :)

Same that's how it is in Jekyll and Hyde the musical.

[Jackie]

I pronounce it fusaud

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I remembered another one that confused me 'epitome' - i thought it was 'epi-tome', not 'ep-it-o-me'

My mother went to school with someone called hermione, and she pronounced it 'her-me-own'

[Dory]

Archives, Facade, epitome, hermione, tobias are only a few of the words we read, and pronounce far off the actual way or pronouncing.

Ive got a pretty good dictionary and i still mispronounce words because of reading... but i know how pronounce words that the typical canadian cant, due to being european/british school, because i get really annoyed when people say sa-ra-jay-vo instead of sarajevo. or schlieffen.

[rachel, x]

@Sarah A lot of people used to say "her-me-owm" - its such a weird word that way!

@Dory How do people say Tobias - other than Toe-bi-es.

[Jackie]

I say Toe By es

[rachel, x]

@Jackie Same! I think... I pronounce "bi" the same as the word "by" so I think we same it the same.

Can you guys help me and tell what should I do?

I requested "Read now" title that can't be read via Kindle, and now I have problems with authorising computer or mobile via Adobe ID.
It seems like no matter what I do I can't read the book not on my comp nor on my mobile phone.

Should I send a feedback and tell them I can't review it bacause of technical problems I have or should I do something else?

Have anyone of you guys had the same or similar problem?

I guess my ratio will never be high due to this case...

[Tati]

If they have enabled e-mail contact, e-mail them. If not, send the feedback stating that you couldn't read it for technical issues.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

That's what I've done in the past, just submitted feedback apologising that I wouldn't be able to read the book because the copy was unreadable, or I couldn't get it to work.

[Irena BookDustMagic]

Sarah, and when they recieved your feedback did they took it as okay or did it count like you didn't review that one?

I'll try that but it's a bummer cuz' i really wanted to read it... :/

[Tati]

It counts towards your ratio no matter what you say in it. You could write gibberish, and it would still bump up your ratio.

[Irena BookDustMagic]

Omg, really?
...and I tought someone actually reads your feedback and pays attention to it!

Thanks girls, I'll contact them today then...

[Sarah Elizabeth]

They may well read it, but it doesn't affect your ratio, as long as you submit something it counts ☺ Which book was it?

[Irena BookDustMagic]

Poems about cats
I contacted them few minutes ago and yeah, my ratio is higher now.

[Dory]

To be es
Kinda like Toby from PLL with pronounciation of the letter s on the end.

[Sarah Elizabeth]

I'd say Toe-By-Us

[Dana]

I had the same issue with that book. Really wish more books would state when the don't have kindle options.

When I send feedback saying I cant read that format I do mention that I would be happy to read and review it if they are able to offer a kindle version. A few have added kindle and emailed me to download it again in that format.

[Tati]

YES! Got Hidden Huntress!!!
