Late to the party, but I've been reading along -
Many authors are encouraged to come here and pitch their books. When Girlebooks.com took my book, the owner of the site signed up for Kindleboards and was going to sign up here to push it, but I told her I was already a regular. I also told her I'd never joined Kindleboards because I don't have a Kindle and didn't really feel it was kosher to go there just for the purpose of self-promotion.
She also signed me up for Goodreads - something I've looked at but am still not sure how to use.
I'm not good at the marketing stuff - which is why I submitted the book to them in the first place - but apparently, out *there*, beyond these electron walls, authors are being told that this is *the* (or one of *the*) place(s) to go promote themselves.
We have a reputation now - it's hard to blame others for taking advantage of it, annoying as we might find it.
