So I've been trying to move away from amazon stuff for my book shopping and organizing. It's not complete, but here are some things that are working for me:
* ebooks and real books from the library. VPL has an A+ online catalog and lets me put books on hold from online!
* My local bookshop, Pulpfiction
* ebooks via Weightless and Kobo
* keeping track of series with fictfact
* chatting in #books and #AmReading
I haven't really looked for a goodreads replacement yet and am open to recs.
@susannah LibraryThing, to replace Goodreads?
@clew I used to use it and liked it ok, but now it's 40% owned by Amazon. I don't know how long it'll be free of what's happening to Goodreads and I'd rather not give them my data anyway.
@susannah ... I knew Goodreads had been bought by Amazon, I didn't know about LibraryThing!! Thanks. (Gloomily.)
