I wanted to create an account but the site refused to accept my card. I was sent an incredibly fiddly work-around which was more hassle than it was worth. Eventually created an account with Pay Pal.... See more

Bookbub is great!

There is always something for me to enjoy. My favorite feature is the introduction to new authors that I might not have read otherwise. Thank You!

I gave it 5 stars because I've gotten allot out of it, but lately it's gotten to where it is not as good. I recommended it to a friend but she wasn't very impressed. She said that the prices were not what I touted in order to sell her on the site, then I noticed the change.

Thank you for the service you have given me over all these years.
I'm 84 years young and I don't know what I would do if I didn't have your service.
Thank you,

Great source for reading material

Great source for reading material, but a bit tired of badly-written steamy Regency novels centering around simplistic, unoriginal plots and loaded with gratuitous sex... I wish this particular genre was populated by more mature or talented writers. Other than that, it's great! Thanks BookBub, and all the best!

Just a quibble

Just a quibble, about your rating for 4 stars is "Great". And for five stars, it is "Excellent". These two should be reversed, as "Great", is greater, more positive than "excellent".

I gave 4 stars instead of 5 because I am frustrated hat the book deals are so very short, sometimes even not one day long! I understand that these are special rates on sale, but come on, can't you have them on special for at least 2 or 3 days before going back to their higher, regular price?

I find a lot of books at low prices

I find a lot of books at low prices. I love that they are tailored to my preferences and I’ve found several new good series through BookBub. However, quite a lot of the books could use more editing. If there are too many errors, it takes me out of the story. I have even had to stop reading a few because it was so bad.

Bookbub is excellent

Bookbub is excellent. Good books of all types at reasonable and cheap prices and many for free. I use it extensively to get books on my Kindle.

Great service!

I love getting only books that relate to my preferences, so that I do not have to scroll through tens of Amazon pages to find a book.
I also like the feature that allows book bub to show me when my “followed” authors have new books.
