I have two main thoughts:
1. I've never had much confidence in reviews at Amazon, so I've used Goodreads to read reviews if I was interested in a book. I'm worried the quality of the reviews will suffer, though the same people will hopefully be leaving reviews so that might be an unnecessary worry.
2. If you are interested in a book, Goodreads allows you to set which bookstore you want to have come up under "Get a copy" on the main page for the book. I'm not sure how well I'm describing that, but I imagine in the future it will only link to Amazon. That isn't a huge deal, but will slow me down a bit if I want to buy from B&N.
I will probably get a lot more spam from Amazon, and it will be well researched spam, as they know what all my favorite books are, and what books I'm planning to read. I don't really care about that too much.
I wish it would remain independent, but I don't think it'll make a huge difference. Just little things I won't like much.
