Edit:
Doing an 'advanced search' for "store button" lead me to:
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...t=store+button

Edit 2:
I was wrong, it seems to be in the Javascript and related files.
And the Javascript is minimized - you'll need a tool to turn it into something readable.

Start your search in the tree below /usr/share/webkit-1.0

A little bit of grep'ing should solve the problem of where/what to change.

Spoiler:

Humm.....
There are threads here about replacing the 'store' button with other functions.
I think there is even a KUAL menu extension that does that for some purposes.

I suppose the same principle could be used to convert the 'good reads' button.

In outline:
You search the *.jar files for the (string formatted) function call you want to replace - I.E: whatever/wherever the 'airplane mode' mode is handled.

You search the *.jar files for the (string formatted) function call that does the 'goodreads' action.

You edit in the 'airplane mode' string to replace the 'goodreads' string.

It is just a fancy 'search and replace' task.

The details are explained here in a number of threads.

And no, I don't know the links to them, but you might check the Master Index in the wiki.
See sticky that says 'where do I start'?
Start there, it will lead you to the Master Index.

If that fails to help find them, try the advanced search.

While logged in -
That search box in the upper right of the index page, leave it blank -
Click the 'search' button -
Whoot! Now your looking at the 'Advance Search' page.

Sorry, I am not trying to be difficult.
With over 3 million posts by more than 1/4 million users - the best I can usually do is remember if I have seen a topic discussed here in the past.
