"Preferences" Page Help?

Hey there! Got a newbie question... When I go to my preferences page I uncheck all the ebook formats because I prefer to receive traditional (real!) books...but when I click "Submit" 7 of them automatically get re-checked! Confused...help? Sorry if this is a stupid question hehe.

I think I have found and corrected the problem causing that malfunction. Please try again and let me know.

If the problem is not fixed then my question is:

Do you see the following message in red print after hitting submit: "Any changes you have made have not been saved. Please fix the error and resubmit the form below."?

Or after you hit submit does it say "Your preferences have been updated."?

Are you getting any traditional book offers? I would like to know because I would also like to receive traditional books, but I am not seeing even a single offer for that even though I am Level 2. My preferences have been set accordingly. There are many ebooks available though.

I'm not seeing offers for ANYTHING! I thought it was because I'm still level 0. No, I haven't seen any book offers since I joined.

Yes, I think it's because you are level 0. Try increasing your post count to about 50, that's when I was able to see review offers when I was level 0. For more info. go to [link removed by Scott]

Also I personally feel that more authors should be encouraged to offer books in traditional format, as that would be a great help for those who do not read ebooks. Just my opinion though.

I strongly discourage authors from offering their book in traditional format and discourage reviewers from opting to review in that format. It's a hassle. It's a lot easier and less expensive to instantly download a book then try to ship a physical book. And personally I much prefer reading on my nook then actual books and have saved more money than my Nook cost me.
