Readers – Writing a Review

Here’s how to post a review for a title:

Find a title in one of your homepage widgets, click in to view its details, and click on the Review icon:

Or from within a catalog, Review Copies page, or another title list here:

On your Review Copies page there are tabs for Downloaded and Downloaded, Not Reviewed on the bottom row. Note that all titles you have downloaded or opened in the Edelweiss eReader will show up on this list.

Select Downloaded, Not Reviewed to see the titles you have downloaded but have yet to review.

 

Clicking the Review icon will bring up a window in which you can rate various attributes of this title (under More Ratings), write a review, and decide who can see it.  You can decide to send the review to the publisher, as well as whether or not to submit your review to LibraryReads.

Note, your reviews will be visible to your friends and affiliates. Choosing to send your review to the publisher will make that review visible to people associated with that publisher, including publicity, sales reps, etc. They may use your review in their marketing efforts. Learn about sending reviews/nominations to LibraryReads here.

Assigning a title a rating of 8 or higher automatically gives it a  “Much Love” rating, which adds it to the total Much Love count seen for each title:

The number there indicates that 84 Edelweiss users gave this title a very high rating. Click that number to see who those folks are, and how they break down according to user-type (bookseller, librarian, blogger, etc.)

Publishers have the opportunity, on their side, to Feature reviews that they especially appreciate. You can see these here:

Click on that number to see those reviews that the publishers have deemed worthy of featuring.

Keep track of all your reviews on the Reviews page.
