50 cents per review, up to $50, and excpetional reviews can get you $1.

Looks like they're offering this for the Featured eBooks and Audio Books only... they have 16 featured books for each category and genre though, so it shouldn't be too hard to find titles to review.

Unfortunately, I've not read any of the featured books.

Do they only accept "positive" reviews, I wonder? I do slightly worry about the impartiality of "paid for" reviews. What if you think that a book is a real "stinker" and you say so?

JSWolf · 10-28-2008, 02:25 PM

Well, if I didn't like a book, I would say so and why and hope they keep their word.

I can't review anything anymore until a lot more reading time becomes available.

This reminds me that yesterday, I was trying to figure out which books I promised to review previously. Either I read them but forgot review them, or didn't read them at all, but I'm feeling a bit guilty for not following through. I have no idea what was supposed to be read and reviewed anymore. I found one email dead link to a book I said that I'd read, so emailed an apology back to the author.

Too much responsibility involved in reviewing!

However, those BoB featured books sure look tempting!

The first time they were offering reward dollars for reviews, I did offer a couple of candid opinions of books and was "paid" for them, and what I said wasn't glowing in the least.

Thank you - that's reassuring to hear.

Has anyone had rewards dollars added to their account because of the reviews? I know they have used many of my reviews but still no reward dollars.

I haven't done any reviews this time around - but I did a large number the first go round and I did get paid for them. It did take a little while for the system to catch up (I did 50 reviews) but by the end of the week or so I was fully paid up.

Give them time - I have no doubts that BoB is good for it.
