On a blog about amazon books, I read that friends and family aren't meant to review e-books, which makes sense. But then I also read that, when requesting a review, the author should not send a free book to the reviewer. So, do I just contact people and ask them to buy my book and review it? I think they'll enjoy it, but I don't want to be pushy. What do you think?

I would love any good suggestions and thanks for your time.
