So in the last few months I've been using both, thinking it would be no big deal. I mean, how long does it take to add a book? Turns out, longer than you might think. For me, they both have their annoying quirks. GR involves a lot of "where in the hell did they move that feature that I use?!". TSG seems to require an awful lot of clicks to get where you want to go. Using one service is no problem, but using both of them is getting old.
I'm particularly enjoying the reading journal feature of TSG, which is much better than GR's private notes (that I can never find). And their recommendations are amazing. I wish TSG had the (ugly) single page view of my entire library that GR has, but I can live without it now that I'm getting used to the way TSG does things.
Bottom line is that I'm nearly sold on TSG and ready to drop GR, but I'm concerned about TSG's longevity. GR is a behemoth with infinite resources. How can TSG compete with that? They made big splash in the early days because so many of us were unsatisfied with GR for a variety of reasons, but it's hard to stay in the news once you've been around awhile.
How many of you have made the switch?
