I have been an author as well as book reviewer for many decades. Now that I publish for Kindle, I brought that practice here also, and I do both (publishing my book, reviewing the books of others) here also. It is a great experience with one difference: While it is easy to assess the value and impact of reviews in the print-media, it is not all that easy here on Kindle. Believe me, I have 40+ books and have posted almost 250 reviews by now.Further, as a published writer on Kindle, I definitely would like to get good reviews (five star if possible, but nothing less than 3 star) and wanted someone to study the whole subject and write something on it. Thus I readily agreed to receive a copy for possible review when the author offered me a free review-copy.While the title says "How To Get Good Reviews on Amazon", the book turned out to be much more than that. In the first part the author explains the reasons why people review on Amazon. In itself that was a great tutorial on the why and how of review. I learnt much, though I am already an experienced reviewer on Amazon as well as in the print world.In the second part he explains exactly how to go about getting a good review, and what to do and not to do if someone leaves a bad review of your book or product. Like the first part, even the second part explains much more than what the title implies.Observations:*** An eBook based upon a good amount of observation and assessment*** Objective assessment without any hype*** Highly readable style*** Covers more ground than what the title impliesRecommendation:*** A must-read both for writers as well as for Amazon reviewers*** If you publish for Kindle, this book will help you to rise to the next level*** If you review on Kindle, then surprisingly, this book will help you to rise to the next level*** Buy with confidence, as everyone (even experienced ones) will surely learn something new
