I mistakenly selected the book, 'Whale of Wonder,' by Marie-Paule Mahoney long back to review. After hitting the 'select' button, I came to know that it compulsorily required writing an Amazon review, whereas I currently don't write Amazon reviews. Amazon.in rejects my reviews for missing a deadline. I don't know which one. I am trying to sort this out with them. I do think of trying and writing Amazon reviews in the future. I informed you instantly about my problem with the book and didn't proceed to write the review. The matter was considered resolved at that time. I have now been asked by you to update the status: 'I have successfully downloaded the working copy of the book.' How can I do that when I am not in a position to fulfill the compulsory condition of writing an Amazon review? I am writing this post as an error report and status update. Please help me out. Waiting for your response.

I posted an error report a few minutes back in this forum related to reviewing the book, 'Wales of Wonder,' by Marie-Paule Mahoney. Remember, I opted to select the book to review long time back. But after that I learned the book compulsorily requires an Amazon review. I want to add further details to what I said in the earlier post which is as follows - "I informed you instantly about my problem with the book at that time and didn't proceed to write the review. The matter was considered resolved at that time. Now I have been asked to update the status: 'I have successfully downloaded a working copy of the book.' How can I do that when I am not in a position to write Amazon reviews presently? (already explained why in my earlier post)" Please help me out.

I wonder if you could get out of that loop by hitting the "I hate this book" button.

I am facing an issue related to my work of reviewing. It is as follows:

I opted to select the book, 'Whales of Wonder,' by Marie-Paule Mahoney to review long back. After hitting the 'select' button, I came to know that the book compulsorily required writing an Amazon review. I currently don't write Amazon reviews. But I do think of writing reviews on Amazon in the future. Whenever I try to submit one, Amazon rejects it saying I missed a deadline. I am unable to understand which deadline I miss every time I submit a review on the Amazon.in site. I am trying to sort this out with them.

Keeping in mind that the book compulsorily required an Amazon review, I did not proceed to download the working copy of the book. I did report this matter to you at that time. The problem was considered resolved.

Now, I am being asked to update the status and submit an error report to the above- mentioned book. This is why I am writing this post to you as my status update and as per the instructions given to me by you.

Ma'am, I am presently reviewing a book, 'Detox Your Circle, Activate Your Destiny,' by Ernest Sears Jr. How can I review 'two books' (including Whales of Wonder) at the same time when my reviewer score is only 57 (level 2)?

Please help me out. I am waiting for your response.

I wonder if you go to Amazon customer service and drill down in the chat till they bring a live agent into the chat to help you with that message that you missed the deadline; that way, you could get that problem solved. On the stress of having 2 books to review at the same time, I had that happen to me a couple of times, both listed in the update section, and I extended one, so I could do one and then go to the other one. I think you can extend several times; I have extended both for reading and for the review. You can ask in the contact section for help and direction. They are quick to give you an answer, and they do come back and check to see how you are doing and if you need more help.

I am trying to get my first free book for review. I have read the details page, which says the book is available. Clicking the link to download the book results in an error stating the link is not available. There were two different link options, and neither worked. The second option listed gives a free code, which I tried to use to purchase the book through Amazon. The code is not recognized. Can you assist please?

I tried to download the book and it will not download.
I've bought the computer and it has kindle, but the book will not download.
I have tried to contact you without success. I hope this one makes it to it's destination.
Remove me from your list of reviewers. It's too difficult to get answers, although I've sent or replied to several emails. I'm no longer intersted in working with your company. I've found something else. And, I can't resign because it says I've accepted a book to review that will not download.
Thank you, but I'm finished.
