I just want to +1 the recommendation for StoryGraph. I used Goodreads for a decade but got frustrated at how little Amazon invested in it. Plus the review culture was getting toxic. Took me an hour or two to migrate all of my books over.

StoryGraph isn’t necessarily better than Goodreads but it’s definitely just as good and it’s great to support software not owned by Amazon. They may own e-books but they don’t have to own reading.



I’m not sure what world other people live in but Amazon has absolutely nothing to do with my reading ebooks. Not how I buy them, not how I read them.

I’ve been building an app specifically to help me manage the ebooks that I own

Most people live in a world where they don’t build their own ebook software. I think you actually do know this.


Yes, and I think you can imagine that the software I’m building is neither an e-reader nor is it a platform to purchase ebooks
