I have no idea how effective this site is in garnering reviews for your book should they accept you into their closely gate-kept program, because they always reject my professionally formatted, pre-release, original books and never provide any reason as to why. They won't even email you an update that your application has been rejected. They just change the status on their site and you have to keep checking it independently yourself. And don't even bother clicking that 'why' was my application rejected button you see depicted in the image below. That won't be specific to your book. It's just a page of generic reasons like "your book was released over 30 days ago" etc and a host of other things that were not the case for my application at least. My theory is they have too few readers to give reviews to anyone without sway or previous experience on their site, but if that is the case, then they should just state that outright on their home page and not let people waste their time applying.

They twice deleted my account because my regular postings sharing links to my e-book on their site apparently activated their "spam filters". Yeah, that makes sense. But what is much worse is that they never notified me of this or why my account was suddenly gone and I couldn't log in. They never sent an email. I simply had to contact them directly, confused after the fact that I could suddenly not log in. Their first response when I contacted them also clarified none of this eventual truth I found out. They simply said there was no account linked to that email and did not respond to any of my follow-up questions. So now very confused and annoyed, I went to all the effort of re-creating my account since they insisted I'd never signed up in the first place. Then they deleted it. Again. And after I demanded answers, they finally explained the supposed spam filter thing. To summarize, they are the worst book site I have ever used, a complete waste of time, and I recommend that no one use them.

I used it with the intent to sell e-books. I did not get around to purchasing other's e-books.
