Live by the Amazon sword, die by the Amazon sword…
The worst thing about the whole âmergerâ is that Amazon is giving Shelfari members just two months to move all their data over to Goodreads. I actively participate in two Shelfari groups that have been operating since 2008/2009 and have thousands of discussion threads, challenges, and games. The move will likely kill one of those groups completely and severely impact the other. So two months just doesnât cut it â it is rude and sends a message that Amazon doesnât truly care about some of its best customers.

Meanwhile, I’m updating my LibraryThing profile (which is 40% owned by Abebooks, which is owned by … Amazon), where I’ve been since 2005.
