What do you mean by this, it imports to the other devices automatically or is user intervention necessary? I am also confused by what apps and books have to do with each other, if the Collections are in the Book section how is it affecting the apps section, can you explain more?

I select all the eBooks I like in an Excel spreadsheet with price and number of pages. Then I buy them based on the highest number of pages per dollar of cost. I only read history and biography books.
While I also do not read based on my friends lists, I do use the Goodreads app continuously both to shelve and manage my books but also to rate them. This helps me when I use the recommendation section on Goodreads when I am looking for something new and different. Also, what about the add Amazon purchases to Goodreads shelves, is this automatic or does this require user intervention?

This also will be great for me, because I order a lot of the free a day apps, though most times I rarely get to them, so organizing all my apps would be a major plus for me.
