It's great how much I learn through these posts - I am constantly having moments that seem to be a complete game changer! LOL and gathering even MORE books.

Me too! Very excited.

Sarah | 1543 comments Just a heads-up for those who, like me, have been approved for A Taste for Killing by Sarah Hawkswood on NetGalley UK - the publication date has been brought forward from 5 December to 12 May! Arrrgghhh...

I wonder whether someone erred and put the original date in US notation?

I hate the way they change the dates Sarah - and especially if I miss it and don't read it in time for their changed date!!

I think he's been concentrating on his Kate Marshall series since 2019. It's great to see that Erika Foster lives on!

I've been caught out a few times too, I wish the publishers would let you know when the publication date changes.

Carolyn | 9836 comments I was also approved for Fatal Witness! Yay!!

Also for the audiobook of Fifty-Four Pigs: A Dr. Bannerman Vet Mystery which Marianne gave 5★. It's still available for request if anyone else is interested.

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments I really enjoyed Joanna Cannon's latest novel, A Tidy Ending, so I was pleased to see the audio up for request on NetGalley. Been approved and downloaded already, in for a treat, I am sure!

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments I was just about to read a NetGalley book and found it's not on my tablet in kindle or the NG app, so have emailed the publisher, it was already archived (a mere 2 days ago!) so I can't access it. I must have failed to "send to Kindle" when I first got it.
Now I'm going to check my other NG TBR books to make sure I have them all on Kindle or NG app.

I hope you can still get it Marianne, it happened to me once, now I am really careful to check I have them. Although the ones in the NG app can expire too.

I always do that, which is why I was surprised when the book wasn't there. I checked all my TBR NetGalley books and one other I couldn't find so I had it sent again.

Oooh... good tip, Marianne! I haven't got to books 2 or 3 yet, though, so might let this one go by...

Marianne (cloggiedownunder) | 9974 comments I received the following in an email from Amazon Kindle and I wonder how it will affect the files we get from NetGalley...
Dear Kindle Customer,

Thank you for using the Send to Kindle service to send personal documents to your Kindle library. We wanted to let you know that starting August 2022, you’ll no longer be able to send MOBI (.mobi, .azw) files to your library. Any MOBI files already in your Kindle library will not be affected by this change.

MOBI is an older file format and won’t support the newest Kindle features for documents. Any existing MOBI files you want to read with our most up-to-date features for documents will need to be re-sent in a compatible file format.

Also, compatible formats now include EPUB (.epub), which you can send to your library using your Send to Kindle email address. We’ll also be adding EPUB support to the free Kindle app for iOS and Android devices and the Send to Kindle desktop app for PC and Mac.

Well some of the NG books are in PDF format, some in Mobi, so if they can't send .mobi to our Kindles, or the Kindle app on our devices, I'm wondering what will happen there.


message 1393: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3405 comments I got one as well and the way I read it our kindles will only take EPUB from August, very confusing I am hoping PDF's will still be OK


message 1394: by Tien (new)

Tien (tiensblurb) | 631 comments eeek, I have a very old kindle, I wonder if it will take epub as I didn't think kindle takes epub at all. I assume a software upgrade will be required so *fingers crossed*

Surely NetGalley will be involved if it's going to affect their readers and the reviews of their books?!


message 1396: by Helen (new)

Helen (helen57) | 3405 comments I am hoping Netgalley will get it sorted with Amazon I often send Mobi and PDF files to my kindle through email and I have authors send them as well as I say if it isn't broken leave it as is

Yes I agree Helen. Perhaps this is similar to the hoo-har a few years ago with Amazon...
