What do you think about The Novel Network? - Page 2

I've just read the wording on that site. Nowhere do they say that the books are recent, just that they will suit all tastes and cover many genres. Everything they say could be applied to public domain books.

I think that's how they're claiming to be legal. In not actually telling you that they're giving recent in-copyright books but giving that impression, they are staying on the right side of the law in relation to the now (too strict) copyright regulations, while making it hard for anyone to claim that they wanted John Grisham, not Charles Dickens.

I would not recommend using The Novel Network. You are paying them $50 for services that are available online for free. The ebook site they use is feedbook.com. Anything that is free on the feedbook site is available by just going to their site. You don’t need to purchase The Novel Network to do so. All the newspaper does is bring you to that newspapers webpage, once again something you can do on your own. If the newspaper has a subscription fee, this is not covered by The Novel Network. There are absolutely no perks of buying The Novel Network that I could see by purchasing it. AND, we’ll see how the customer service is. The only way to contact them to cancel my subscription is by e-mail. They don’t provide any phone numbers. My recommendation would be to look elsewhere for a better offering. Also, notice on all of the “Good Reviews” there is a link to purchase the product. Most of these people are making a profit off what they sell. If they have researched the site at all, I guarantee they aren’t using it themselves.

They had to double that due to inflation.
