No it did not. Back on October I looked carefully before ordering my PW2 on the UK site, the French site, the German one and the Spanish one (I wanted to make sure that the Flashcards function was going to be available in Europe). None mentioned a Goodreads integration. As a matter of fact, in one of the first video of the device that appeared on the web, done by endgadget or one of those tech site (can't remember which one) at the IFA in Berlin, the reviewer, who was american, stipulated that although Goodreads integration would be one of the feature for the US, the amazon representative that handled him over the PW2 for the video insisted on him making sure he was not going to mention anything about Goodreads availability outside of the US, as it definitely was not going to be the case, at least for a while.

I wanted the other functions, such as quick navigation in the book and the Flashcards so for me it is not a big deal. I did register my PW2 back to my US account to see how the Goodreads integration looks like, but as I am not convinced with it (it only works for amazon books, not for side-loaded ones), I have now reversed to my German account.
