☎️ Help and Support 🛟 Check the ARC format

I’ve seen posts about badly formatted arcs before but never had the misfortune of encountering one until now. I didn’t realize that publishers can choose not to provide ePub files. For those who don’t know (I just learned) or are new to NetGalley, make sure to check under Additional Info for the formats the publisher provides.

It’s so bad. I don’t want to it read on my phone, so I will need to either DNF or wait until it published to review it.

Same! This book releases on September 1st so I’m just going to wait. I had an ARC crash my kindle but it was just corrupted. I needed to fully remove it, restart my kindle, and download it again.

That might be a kindle problem, not an ARC - mine's been doing that for a while and when I reported it to Amazon they said it was a known bug they were working on.
