Just to be clear, are we talking about the arrangement Goodreads has with the Sony eReader Store in which all (or select?) review postings are embedded into the Sony store? My reviews appear there and I don't recall providing any overt approval.
This has been going on for quite some time. I'm not crazy about Sony having access to my property but then again, once I've posted it to the net it by definition becomes part of the public domain by whatever rules I am binding myself to with Goodreads. It would be a different matter if I had my own (public) website where I posted my own stuff with a "all rights reserved" notice.
The main trouble I have is whether review changes, edited later (or deleted from Goodreads), "flow through" to these other sites Goodreads has (hopefully) formal relationships with.
