It certainly addresses the main issues in a balanced manner.
So will probably be ignored or slated by the only people who were seriously concerned.
Well, it makes a nice counterpoint to all the “Amazon Is The Evil Empire And We’re All Doomed!” posts I’ve seen. Personally, I never found GoodReads all that useful, maybe Amazon will make it easier to actually do something with.
I borrow a lot from my local library and enjoy a wide range of books, so do not really use the recommendations. I could see Goodreads being more useful to people who (i) only enjoy a certain type (ii) need to purchase on a limited budget.
I too read David Gaughran’s piece and found it balanced and very thorough. As with most things the silent majority is muted by the vocal minority. I, as well as my literary friends, have Amazon accounts and buy books regularly. This is a non issue for me. Thanks for the post.
