Completely understandable. I did reviews for a HUGE review site back before ebooks took off. I lasted about 2 years. It quickly becomes an unpaid job and starts to take some of the pleasure out of reading!!! I still do it for my own site and one of the reasons I take 'Guest" reviews is so that none of the reviewers feel that pressure to review every book they read.
