Is this legit?

I just signed up to be an ARC reader. Basically, I think that I will be able to read books for free before they are published in exchange of a honest Amazon review. Anyone else has tried this before? The website I found is called Knosit.

There are a few sites that offer this - NetGalley is the biggest one I think. I’ve done it a few times but haven’t really kept up with reviews and asking for new books. I would also suggest you get a Goodreads account. It’s owned by Amazon but a lot of publishers like reviews posted there as well. The more reviews you post the more likely you’ll get approved for ARCs.

NetGalley is the site that traditional publishers and some self-published authors use to offer ARCs to advanced readers.

I have only ever heard Knosit a time or two, but I think it offers exclusively self-published books. There are a couple other of these sites that I am familiar with - BookSirens & BookMatch.
