The worst outcome I can think of is, as AreYouStillThere already mentioned, if Amazon lets the site stagnate like Shelfari. I don't think that's likely but even if it does happen, it's still not something worth worrying about now. Wait until a better alternative comes along before jumping ship, at least! then wait 3 years for Amazon to acquire the new service, rinse, and repeat I can think of a worse outcome... what if the books you've bought from Amazon all start showing up automatically on your Goodreads page? There are some books I got from Amazon that I'd prefer my friends not know about.

naptalan posted:So I just found out about Riffle Books - it's a new Goodreads alternative being touted as "the Pinterest of book discovery". After signing up and poking around, that seems very apt. I was just going to check this out, until I found out they require you to use a facebook or twitter ID. Uh, no thanks.

I'm browsing through Goodreads this morning and came across this book: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21953652-land-of-the-free 547 out of 551 reviews are 5-stars. Seriously? If you are going to rig your reviews, can you do it a little less obviously?

learnincurve posted:Bumping because goodreads did something really good. Yay statistics. https://www.goodreads.com/user/year_in_books/2016 I think people should set reading goals based on pages instead of book count. Setting the goal based on books wrongly influences people towards short books and away from long ones. The goodreads page count feature is great for this.
