like how Bookbub would let us read books and review for free. Penguin books is crap. They don't even have the option of receiving a print book, and I was on a wild goose chase trying to download the book and nothing ever worked. Or if something did I wasn't able to receive the book.
Another thing is they are not all that reliable in getting back to you in a decent amount of time. (The book review deadline was for October 9th I think, and when I initially wrote with the problem I it was September 4th I didn't hear back from them until the 19th. Which I replied the next day and Now I hear from them again almost 10 days later.
I tried the apps either they won't DL for me, or the book itself on the app won't (or just can't find it). So I wanted to give everyone a warning about them if they do the read to review. I do Prefer PRINT books but will read on my Kindle if I have to, I forget the file options but E-readers aren't an option unless you download one of the apps (like we need another one taking up space, or forget about what we have in it)
Now I ASK
For those of you that know of any other sites like Book Bub that offer FREE Books Either IN PRINT , Or Kindle or I'd even settle for a PDF to print if I have to. I know Book Bub still offers free Kindle books but they no longer offer the Free (print) book to review program.
Does anyone still know if there are any programs like this. (IT must be a print or freebie for Kindle.
Ahead of Time Thank you all for your help

Do you request DRC's from NetGalley or Edelweiss +? Most, though not all of the books are available to read on Kindle. Some I do read through Adobe Digital Editions, which is what I also use for First to Read. As for print books, I don't have any suggestions other than giveaways...I never thought I would say it, but I now prefer my Kindle Paperwhite(all bookshelves in my house are full)!
