Review Copies can be found in a few places on Edelweiss: on your homepage via the Review Copies widget, on the Review Copies page, while viewing titles throughout Edelweiss, and in email communications.
Adding a Review Copies widget on your Edelweiss homepage is easy. You can find details on how to customize your homepage here.
The widgets are customizable based on the types of review copies you like. In the image above, this widget will show you all “Cooking” Digital Review Copies (DRC’s) by using a Saved Filter. From the homepage widget, you can click on the cover image to see details about this title and take actions such as requesting, downloading, adding to your Shelves, adding a Review, Tags, Notes, etc.
You can view available Digital Review Copies in a more comprehensive view by clicking into the Review Copies page:
Titles are listed to Download or Request, depending on the publishers’ settings, as well as by format (Edelweiss Reader, Audio Review Copies, etc.). Click into the time frame at the top of the page to adjust how far back you’d like us to load titles– from as recent as “Yesterday” to “All” (but that could be a lot of titles and may be too many to load – we recommend adding a time constraint!).
Title listings will show like so:

In your Review Copies page there are tabs for Downloaded and 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 Not Reviewed to see the titles you have downloaded but have yet to review. Don’t forget to write reviews! Not only is this polite in return for receiving the title from the publisher, but more reviews increase the strength of your profile for future requests!
