You could link you NetGalley account with your Kindle email and read it on Kindle for your computer
Or you could follow these steps https://netgalley.zendesk.com/hc/en-u... which is from NetGalley itself so it should work!
Mango (semi-hiatus) wrote: "Ohh okay! Thank you guys. I don't think they approved mine then...lol"It also shows up in your shelf if you're approved

You can download and install ADE (Adobe Digital Editions) on your computer, unless it's an Social protected DRM (Digital Rights Management) file, in which case it'll open without ADE, but will be embedded with your social details given to Netgalley, like name and email id to prevent theft.

Awww. :( I hope you get some new ARCs soon!
So remember a couple days ago, when I thought my requests were declined? Well...turns out that I was just being dumb and not navigating NetGalley properly lmao. So the requests are actually pending, not declined.So how long will a request be in the pending stage?
Mango (semi-hiatus) wrote: "So remember a couple days ago, when I thought my requests were declined? Well...turns out that I was just being dumb and not navigating NetGalley properly lmao. So the requests are actually pending..."I still have books pending from when I requested them on April 23 sooooo there is no saying how long the'll keep you there, sometimes I get accepted within the hour and sometime after a week or so and sometimes never :(
Also Kensington Books has declined me every single time I request books (around 4 times now) so I'll probably never request from them ever again 😭
Have you guys ever selected the I will not be giving feedback option? Does that affect your feedback ratio?
nαомι wrote: "Have you guys ever selected the I will not be giving feedback option? Does that affect your feedback ratio?"yes, I have, and I'm pretty sure it affects the feedback ratio. I opted for that option once, and my ratio dropped, so I'd recommend not clicking that unless you really don't want to ride a review of that title.
I haven't yet felt like using that option but it sounds so aggressive, I've always wondered what happens

oh man, that's scary. it took me months to fix my ratio, so I hope you can read, enjoy, and review those books! I could never have that many LGBTQIA+ themed books.

yeah, that request button was nearly the death of my Netgalley account. that's why I like Edelweiss; you have to give an explanation as to why you want to request a title, and it's not only thought-provoking, but also gives the publisher insight on my intentions for reading/reviewing that title.
i recently just got approved for my first book too from Lake Publishing despite having just started my account and only giving one feedback!! ahhh i was so happy
