I abandoned Goodreads some time after Amazon bought it. I've been avoiding buying from Amazon for ideological reasons for several years (about as long as I've had an ereader), but I left Goodreads because it seemed less and less useful. There's that quote (maybe from Doctorow?): "If you're not paying, you're not the customer, you're the product." Goodreads became more obviously about helping Amazon sell books, at the expense of serving readers.
