Hello,
I wonder if there are review sites in other than english languages?
Thanks

I wonder if searching Google for ebook reviews (or something similar) in a particular language (say German) and country (say Germany) might return something. If I spoke another language other than English I'd try it, but...

Did not find anything thus in the first place, so I asked. I discovered wonders when daring the same here previously.

I personally didn't have much luck with reviewers. From the many emails I sent them, only a handful replied back with a yes or a no. And those very few who said yes had huge backlists to cover. If I had a printing press of money, I would have no problem with paid reviews. If you're not rich, you might want to reconsider the use of that money; because reviews don't automatically translate into more sales. Here's another useful link: www.theindieview.com/indie-reviewers/ |

It would be interesting to see any research on the relationship between reviews and sales. I suppose a lot of good reviews would be indicative of a considerable fanbase (which should translate to sales, right?), but is that always the case? And, can an author have a big fanbase without necessarily having a lot of reviews to show for it? Perhaps it is shameful to say that, as a reader/fan, I leave little to no reviews. Yet, I buy a lot of books, and of those a good amount are series. Often, I will read an entire series without having really much cared for the stories/writing/etc overall. Yet, I have bought those books, those are sales for the author.
I guess I am trying to make the same point as Serban: the causal link-fans/readers, good reviews,sales-is not always an easy one to identify.

Ooh, will check these out, thanks. I'm at an awkward point trying to get the ball rolling (and I'm sure Amazon aren't listing some that were submitted!)

I don't think any of my ebooks ask for a review, and I can't remember if my blog has any posts asking for reviews. I guess that's why a lot of my works have non-existent reviews; don't ask, don't get.
