Social reading....sounds threatening. Reading is a peaceful activity because it is solitary. Agreed that Kindle's public highlighting feels intrusive, even invasive.
I like tracking books (and pages) read on Goodreads and have appreciated reviews and comments of others. But it is otherwise a solitary pursuit since I have no friends active on the site.
The only reason I'm on Facebook is because, without it, I would have no idea what my grandchildren, nieces, or nephews were up to. I quit once thinking I would make a greater effort to stay touch the old fashioned way. Didn't work.
