I don't intend to leave Goodreads just because Amazon bought them ... but I'm uneasy about the future and leave that option open.
On the other hand, I am editing my Goodreads reviews. I tend to put some work into them because I was reviewing for people who might want to read, not a corporation wanting to sell.
On a recent review I noted that the ebook file was in bad shape, but, since I got it from Smashwords, and it was DRM-free, I was able to run it through Calibre and fix it. It'll be interesting to see if that stays up.
On a side note, the Goodreads acquisition was just the subject of a report on NPR's All Things Considered. The audio should be up on their site by tomorrow.
