Hi Andromache!

When I'm submitting a book and the automated metadata just gives me the same information for both the short and long synopses, I select all of the text for the long synopsis and delete it so the edit box is empty and then paste in the long synopsis I have prepared. It doesn't seem helpful to have the same thing twice.

Really? *feels like an idiot now* Maybe the links should be more prominent, and there should definitely be one for writing synopses in one's own words if one wishes. There could be a few different ones, since I doubt people will go to the trouble to deluge the system if there are already decent synopses available. Think the Internet Movie Database. There are often a few summaries/synopses for movies just written by average users of the site.

P.S. Thank you for the info on the links. How could I have missed it? I guess I just skip that section unless I'm specifically looking for book history.

You can most definitely write a review, and I encourage you to do so. The link to do so says write a review, and it is located in the related links section of each books page. This section is past all the rest of the book information.

Why is it impossible to review books? Shouldn't there be a link to write one? Or else, the feature should be removed. For reference, I'm talking about the book pages. I think reviews, such as they have on Amazon, would be most helpful and fun.
