🎉June 2026 News & Updates🎉

Written by Kevin

Month after month, the Book Bounty community continues to impress us. Every member's review makes a real difference. Everyone in this community is what makes Book Bounty worth building. You read, you review, you show up for authors who are pouring their hearts into their work, and that is not something we take lightly.

Behind the scenes, we are always busy cooking up improvements and moving fast to make your experience smoother and safer, with some exciting things coming soon that we cannot wait to share. Every update we make is with you in mind. So thank you for being here, for caring about the craft, and for keeping the energy alive. Book Bounty works because of people like you, and we are just getting started.

🚨New Features Dropping Now🚨

🎉 Verified Purchase Print Book Bounties Have Arrived! 📚

The wait is over! We're excited to launch Verified Purchase Bounties for Print Books! 🥳

From coloring books and activity books to word searches, journals, workbooks, puzzle books, and more. If you have a print book ASIN you can now request verified purchase reviews for it.

Why is this exciting? As Amazon continues to keep a closer eye on your shopping and review activity, real purchases help reinforce natural customer behavior. In other words, they're an important piece of the puzzle when it comes to building a healthy review profile and showing Amazon that you're a real reader engaging with your books. Amazon trusts reviews more when there is a purchase attached.

But wait... there's more! 🎁

We've made several user interface updates throughout the platform to make things easier to use. As always, we'll continue refining and improving the platform as we grow, and we hope you enjoy the new look and feel!

Here is a quick video on the new features when you Add and/or Edit your book's details to turn on the Verified Print bounty option for the next bounties you create.

🚨More New Features Coming Soon!🚨

Even with everything already rolling out, we are just getting started. Our team is excited and fully focused on making Book Bounty even more powerful. Here are some things that are coming very soon.

  • Bounty Request Add-ons: The ability to request image or video reviews.

  • Return of Free Promotion Bounties: We understand how beneficial Free Promotion days are, and with the changes Amazon made we have to be cautious. We will be bringing this feature back with the goal of avoiding review spikes and keeping product and reviewing at a natural pace.

  • Community Features: New tools to enhance the experience, encourage more feedback, block unwanted reviewers and overall improved community engagement, all while keeping everything anonymous and Amazon compliant.

  • Point History & Reporting: A new point history area for clearer tracking and better reporting of your Bounty Points.

✨📙 Reviewing Reminders 📙✨

📖 Read and Review Responsibly 📖

Since we're all reviewers too, we thought we'd send out some reviewing reminders again. 😊 Remember, Amazon is watching you even more than before, and they're looking for accounts that have unnatural consumer behavior. If you're not sending good signals to Amazon that your purchasing and reviewing behavior is what they consider natural consumer behavior, they could watch your account more and get more strict with your account. They can even limit or revoke your reviewing ability so be sure your purchasing, reading and reviewing honestly. They'll know if you're not.

First and foremost - Read the books you get. Review honestly and genuinely. If you try to trick or beat the Amazon system by going fast and not doing your part, it's only a matter of time before they will catch you and possibly shut you down.

Be a real consumer. Making purchases is very important these days. It's important to show Amazon that you're a real consumer. Purchasing only books and never having other products shipped to you could appear to be unnatural consumer behavior. It's a good idea to make purchases regularly and occasionally buy products other than books to helps show Amazon that you're a genuine customer and reviewer.

Here are some approaches to consider to send Amazon the best signals that your account is a genuine consumer account.

  • 🛒 Buy physical products occasionally, and not just all books

  • 📦 Use a real delivery address

  • ⭐ Leave reviews on those physical purchases too

It doesn't have to be anything big. If Amazon does not see natural human consumer behavior, they will monitor your account more closely. 🤖🧥

⚠️ Book-Only Accounts? Amazon's Side-Eyeing You

Amazon watches all accounts but watch newly made accounts even more carefully. If your account is basically just books, books, and more books, Amazon notices. And the longer it goes on, the more suspicious it looks. 😬

✅ Here are some things to consider

  • 🚫 Don't go books-only, purchase other products too.

  • 🛍️ Make occasional physical purchases that ships to your house, even low-cost items count

  • 📊 Shoot for 1 physical purchase every 10-20 ebook reviews (or once or more a month) - don't create patterns of doing the same thing, the same time, the same way each time.

  • 🏠 Use your real delivery address always

  • 🐢 Don't rush, space out your reviews naturally, wait at least 48+ hours or more. Mix it up.

  • ⏸️ Try not to have more than 2 reviews pending at the same time

🚩 Avoid Doing These Things

Amazon's bots are sharper than you think. They LOVE catching patterns:

  • ❌ Always buying books at the exact same price all the time? Potential Flag.

  • ❌ Always posting reviews on the same days every week? Potential Flag.

  • ❌ Never make purchases only using Kindle Unlimited all the time. Potential Flag

  • ❌ Only leaving unverified reviews. Potential Flag

  • ❌ Never purchasing anything but books. Potential flag. 🚩

  • ❌ Never purchasing anything on Amazon. Potential flag. 🚩

There are many more silent flags Amazon could add to you based on your behavior, so it's always best to give Amazon the signals that you're a real consumer by doing things a real consumer does in Amazon eyes.

👉 Remember:

Don't look like a bot yourself. Be a human. Shop like a human.

Amazon built their review system around real customers making real purchases. The members crushing it long-term are the ones who play the long game, staying natural, mixing it up, and not trying to outsmart an algorithm.

Quote of the day:

Tips, Tricks and Tools for Publishers

Want to Write Better Books 10x Faster?

The result: higher-quality books, written faster, without the rewrite chaos or ghostwriter costs.
