Still impressive. You worked hard. You earned it.

I mentioned this in the other thread, but it seems worth repeating.
Amazon seems to have glitched. Two of my reviews apparently posted, but Amazon did not notify me. After ten days, Authentic contacted me, explained the situation, and gave me the points. This seems to be a general issue with Amazon, as Authentic had multiple complaints. Clearing the browser cache helps.
That said...anymore reading is more chore than a pleasure, which bums me out. I stick mostly to shorter nooks as a consequence.

Authentic is shutting down. Existing members will be shunted over to a bigger review site, Book Bounty, effective 12/1. Points transfer with the membership. The first two months at Book Bounty are at the same price as Authentic. After that, their cheapest annual package is $15/month or $180/year (almost double that of Bookroar), though there is a free fifteen-day trial period.

What? I have been considering using them quite a bit recently. but...I fear that model is too steep for me. I will have to be more sparing with them.
Bummer, I liked them.
I think, if it is both a pay system and a karma system, I would only using during a release period and not when I am actively writing anything. So...I'd probably just get a months use out of them a year. I'll be looking at others though, which I wasn't before.

I was thinking of going with the two-week trial, review a few books, quit, then come back a month or so later for another free trial.
Or I might just scrape up $180 for a year.
Currently, I am using Bookroar.
