If you can review books on Kobo, then all we need is the reviewer name you are going to use on Kobo. However, because Kobo does not provide a unique url or account for us to track, we require that your reviewer name be unique amongst our readers.  That is, although Kobo may allow more than one user to use the same reviewer name, we do not because it prevents us from knowing which Hidden Gem reader reviewed which book.

If you are a Kobo reviewer, please add the reviewer name that you use (or are planning to use) on Kobo. You can do this from the Manage Profiles Links menu item. Find the Kobo section near the middle of the page and check whether or not you’ve already added your Reviewer name. If you did, it will be displayed in the Kobo box and you can change it to something else by clicking the Request to Change Profile Link button, which we’ll talk more about in the Editing section of the main part of this FAQ question.

If we don’t have it, then you can add it via the Click to add your reviewer name button.  This will open up a window that will allow you to type in your unique Kobo reviewer name, and then click the Submit button. If the name you enter is already used by another Hidden Gems user, you will get a message telling you to select a different, unique name.  So it is to your benefit to add your Kobo reviewer name ASAP to ensure you get the name you want before someone else does!

Just remember to always leave reviews on Kobo under the name you enter here or we won’t be able to find them.

We now have your Kobo name and should be able to find your reviews whenever you submit your review on your Reader Form to let us know that they have been added and approved!

Note: If you have any problems with any of this, please contact us for help!
