The problem is that Amazon is excellent at marketing and will do a PR blast at some point. Goodreads also has many members who won't leave, and others who won't notice unless something drastic changes.

As an author, I won't leave Goodreads because too many readers will continue to use it. I can't afford to cut any threads of the web I use to catch flies . . . errrrrr readers.
