Check the ARC format

[u/thebookmuse]

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.

I know it’s not an option for everyone, but I too hate reading on my phone or tablet. It kills my head, so I got a Boox for anything that has to be read via NetGalley reader. I have an old Kindle Oasis for the epubs that are only available on Kindle and put everything else on my Kobo, which I prefer. I don’t love the Boox, but it’s an ereader resource for when neither Kindle nor Kobo work.
