There are groups where ebook authors get together to essentially cross-review books of other members.
I remember reading an exposé recently, which I suspect was posted here, but I can no longer find it. (An other dropped out of the group(s) due to ethical concerns.)
- notahacker 8y agoSelf published ebooks also fall under the category where a high proportion of the reviews are likely to be useless for evaluating the quality of the book even when they're noncommercial and sincere, because the initial reviews all come from close friends and family who are impressed by how creative Jonny is or hardcore sub-subgenre enthusiasts, and unless the book sells really well or is utterly atrocious rather than merely a bit mediocre there will be comparatively few reviewers interested in contradicting them.
