Is this to me? My own shelves are more important to me than challenge tracking, which I really only do so that I can update this thread (and it becomes obsolete when the new thread/new year is started anyway.)
I want to have the "right" editions in my shelves when possible, with the correct format (ebook, kindle, audio, hardcover, paperback) and cover art, and I take the time to pick those out whenever I add a book. Picking random editions to suit the criteria for an automatic tracking mechanism doesn't satisfy the details that *I* want to track for myself.
So in my case, it isn't more complicated, it's just the way I want it to be. Ideally, I would add each individual reread to a list for each book, but ultimately knowing all those dates is not as important to me as the correct cover art. But that is just me; for you and Waylander (and likely everybody else), it probably is not the most satisfying method. I'm just offering it up as an alternative.
