We expect instantaneous access and results, but when it comes to books we might also have to expect delays. An upload to a user generated content system specifically tailored for books would probably require a month before being allowed onto the system's marketplace. Exceptions could be made of course but they would be rare.

This time would be spent sending the book to interested parties, those involved who wish to review books before they are released to the general public. Issues would arise (formatting,typographical,content) and be addressed, while at the same time reviews would be written. This is how books have been made in the past and how they will be made in the future.

Reviews written by those whom the system is unable to determine if they have read the book or not will be placed into a special review category. We could call the two review categories internal and external. It would seem to me that the internal reviews, those written while the book was under actual review would be much more influential.
What happens if it is a book that nobody in the review team wants to read?
