Hey. I donāt know how many of my #EdiBuddies are even on here. But I need some advice. I said I would do an ARC review. I normally get ARCs from NetGalley or directly from the publisher, but now Iāve had a random author contact me out of the blue on Instagram. She wants to send her ARC directly to my Kindle. But I donāt know her, and I was reading that Kindles are vulnerable to hacking, viruses, and spyware (obviously any device thatās online is), so Iām nervous. Have any of you ever done this?
@atxEva hard pass imo. why's she so insistent on doing it this way? that makes my paranoia shoot up right away.
@holon42 Me, too! I told her she could use my regular email address. That way I can take a look at it on my virus-aware laptop before I send it to my Kindle.
