Unfortunately, LibraryThing will never be any contender for Goodreads as AbeBooks (now Amazon owned) owns a 40% share of LT.

So far, after about a week of using it, I like StoryGraph. It feels like a stripped down GR, no bad thing. I've already added 7 of its recommendations to my TBR list, around 35-40% of its "top picks" - a much better hit rate than GR ever managed.

Same here, in general they have some good reviewers at StoryGraph with a nice interface. I just hope that they implement book variants soon.

I've been impressed with the tenor of the replies I've had when submitting error reports/missing info to their help email. Friendly, a little apologetic and stressing they're trying to get it up and running and out of beta. They seem like a well-intentioned team, I hope it works out.

I have enjoyed playing around with it. I, like a few others, have really liked some of the recommendations it has popped out at me. I also LOVE the clean interface. I would not mind converting to this as a tracking means if they continue to develop and improve.

I'd really love if StoryGraph had an API and could also access kindle API, kobo API or Tolino API to automatically integrate reading progress, book lists, maybe even notes (https://read.amazon.com/notebook).
Unfortunately, none of them really have an incentive to give StoryGraph access to their data |

Kindle doesn't even have a proper GR integration, it only works in the US.

And I think that is still true. There is one book in my library where the book no longer has a listing (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...w_myk_ro_title) but I can still get the book from my Kindle library and download it. That is all that I remember being promised. |
