No complaints about sales/downloads, but book sites such as Goodreads and book channels such as Amazon, Play, Kobo, iBooks, Bol and Smashwords have the possibility to leave a review of a book you've read. And so far, I've had none of those. I've had some ratings, but those are just star counts. So I am basically looking for full reviews on any of these sites. I tried running a lottery where writing a review would get you a lottery ticket and there would be a 50 STEEM, a 20 STEEM and four 5 STEEM prizes, but unfortunately not a single review entered.

So now I thought, maybe if I simply offer maybe a 15 or 20 STEEM reward (plus cost of a verified sale if required) for an honest book review on one of these sites on steemtaskr. But then, I'm not sure if steemtaskr is meant for those types of tasks.

You speak dutch?
Are you selling on Amazon? I do know a little trick to get reviews.
There are on facebook many groups where you can get reviews. Type in facebook search: "amazon free product tester group" or "amazon top reviewer group" "amazon top eu reviewer group" you can find many more groups than this.
There are many chinese people in those groups who gain the amazon system by basically sending people their product for free in exchange for a good review. You could maybe offer there people a free book for a review.
Because the problem with amazon is, if you let people write a review they should have bought the product. Amazon knows if they do a review and don't buy the product it could be fake so they don't take those reviews as much into account.

But this is actually not strictly legal in the sense that amazon will ban your account if they will find out. That's why you shouldn't advertise for reviews online. Most do it in facebook groups that are hidden from public for that reason.

Yes, I speak English. Dutch, French, and Papiamentu relatively fluently. I can understand German, Portuguese, Frysian well but lack the skill for speaking it properly. Finaly, with quite some difficulty, and if you keep it simple and speak slowly, I can understand some Spanish, Danish, Gaelic and a tiny bit of Fongbe. I do prefer using English to respond with if you don't mind, but pick any of the languages above for your own messages and I'm sure I'll figure out what you mean.

I do have my book on Amazon, but quite frankly I've found Amazon a huge waste of time and (advertising) money. I've actually made more sales on Bol.Com of all places than on Amazon, despite having run ad campaigns on Amazon, so I don't think I'dd be too upset if Amazon canceled my kdp account for whatever reason at this moment actually.

At this moment I don care that much what channel I get an honest review on, the more bussy ones like Play and iBooks would seem more logical, but Amazon, Bol, Kobo, Barnes & Noble or SmashWords would be OK as well. Or apart from these, a (in theory) chanel independent book site like GoodReads would be cool as well.

Anyhow, I'll check out your recommendations, tnx.

Hmm that's interesting. Probably because amazon is a bit saturated/competitive depending on the niche you are in.

(I have some experience with ecommerce but never launched an ebook. It's probably not easy to get the ball rolling. )

Do i have to buy the book on google play to give a review? I can give you one if you want. But what text should i put in?
If you have some inspiration, let me know: nielsagaert at hotmail dot com
I have a good google account.

I can also do bol.com if you want i have an account there.
And i can also do amazon but if i won't buy the book the review will not be as valuable.

Sent me the texts you want to have

Any task that someone could complete will fit with Steemtaskr. :)

It will but problem is that the whole Steem community is so small.

There is btw another project like yours who is existing for a long time. I forgot the name, but their site is pretty death right now. Are people really interested in doing commerce here?
And problem is also that this is an international community, which makes the shipment of products hard. So it only makes much sense for online type of services.
