<p>Someone suggested that Amazon can get mean about trading reviews. From their policy page, I don't see an issue.</p>

<p>With every new book release I give away free pdf copies of my books, and I've given away many books. People like free stuff. The recipients of my books always promise to write a review but very few do. It gets disappointing, and it leaves me wondering if they liked it or not. It would be nice to hear from the readers, even it is a negative review. They don't need to publish it, just send me a short email and tell me about their thoughts.

It would be nice to hear from the readers, even it is a negative review. They don't need to publish it, just send me a short email and tell me about their thoughts. It would be interesting to find out why these people don't make the effort to do that. They made the effort to ask for the book or books and I made the effort to send it to them. But that is just one of the things we writers have to live with. Most people don't put a value on stuff they receive for free. After all, they didn't pay for it.</p> I think Smashwords is very ea…tag:thebookmarketingnetwork.com,2012-09-16:523145:Comment:5419902012-09-16T12:44:08.077ZJoan H.

<p>I'd like to know how you and William succeed in loading each other's books onto your devices. I have a friend who writes for Smashboards but when I went in to try to redeem a coupon she was offering it became so complicated I gave up. Your idea of trading and writing reviews with William sounds great. Let me know how it works. My friend and I might try it too, since I'm on Kindle.</p>
