      p.s. I know this post is repeating stuff from the past few days, but alternatives to Goodreads are one of the most frequent requests I get, so I wanted to make sure everyone knows about this project 👍

      Yup, they avoid mentioning Amazon in the branding.

      Amazon owns many popular book and non-book companies:

      Abebooks
      Audible
      Book Depository
      BookFinder.com
      Comixology
      Goodreads
      IMDB
      LibraryThing (40%)
      Ring
      Twitch
      Whole Foods Market

      and many, many others :blobsad:

      It's scary how difficult it is to avoid big tech now 😬

      I guess they could try switching to @Minetest and (if it gets finished) the streaming option on PeerTube?

      @doctorsidrat

      LibraryThing sold 40% of itself to Abebooks, then Amazon bought Abebooks... :blobsad:

      This is the risk when indies sell stakes of themselves to others, they may have no idea where the stake will end up.
