I signed on today. Here are some initial observations.

I use Ubuntu Linux and I tried to create an account using the Google Chrome browser and kept getting error 404 and 500 error messages. When I switched to Firefox I was able to create the account.

One of the options is to be able to import your books from Goodreads.com, but it didn't work for me. I tried in Opera and it still didn't work for me. The only other way to enter books is by purchasing them from Copia, indicating you own a book in the general collection, or entering the information by title or ISBN, one book at a time. There is no option to import books by uploading a list.

I did download the Windows version of the desktop application and it runs just fine on Linux with Wine.

Since the service is new there aren't that many active groups yet.
