On the other hand...
What I mean by the other hand is that I've noticed on various sites lately that people got an advanced readers copy of a book. And yet, there was little if any worthwhile info about the book, at least in my opinion...
Vine obviously is giving me free books--books that I can select based upon my personal preferences. But just because I'm doing them does not mean, to me, that I treat those books differently than those coming to me from clients.
I guess what I'm asking, are pure "numbers" of reviews the bottom line? Guess I'll reconsider after reading the article.
Thanks again for reference!

So if you ever wonder why the Vine program exists and why vendors are so eager to throw a few free printers at us, I'm quite confident the answer is "because it works!"

I'm still looking for the summary so have no comments of my own.
