I have a love-hate relationship with this website. In the trial period, I have gotten several reviews on 2 of my books. I also reviewed other people's books and genuinely read every word of them. Several days later, I see my coins supply decreasing, until it eventually fell to negative. The reason was "Discrepancy." Upon contacting support, apparently I cannot use my Kindle Unlimited and post my reviews through it for the Verified Purchase books. However, the prices listed for those books matched the price of Kindle Unlimited, not the paperback version of these books. This was the case with at least 5 books I have reviewed. The Customer Service response I received is that I should have cancelled these tasks upon noticing the price discrepancy. But this recommendation is too late! as I have already fully read those books and invested my time and energy. Also, this shows that when books get approved on this platform, they are not truly cross-checked with the Amazon listing price, which creates this problem. I'm genuinely frustrated as I now have lost over 5000 in coins, for BOOKS I HAVE REALY READ AND REVIEWED!The "love" part of my relationship with bookblaze is that I like that I can put up my book for paperback purchase, the ability to get video reviews, the ability to choose the marketplace, and the speed with which my books got picked up. I don't, however, like the request option, the limit of 2 books chosen at a time, and not able to submit the review link after it's live on Amazon (this also resulted in back-and-forth emails for verification and refunding coins). These are simple things that can be easily adjusted on the bookblaze website to improve usability.
