How come?
The way Reddit has handled this has been so disappointing. Aaron Swartz been rolling over but man look what Reddit has become. I believe now more than ever that any site that revolves around a community should be in the hands of said community and not corporations or else this eventually happens. Corporations need to produce profit to survive but when we're talking spaces for open discussion that more often than not works against the very community that makes up the content.
I just started using Bookwyrm. Not the best app ever but it's federated and relatively new, so I'm giving it time. My wife uses Goodreads with her friends but I don't want to support Amazon any more than I already do.
Hah I've never heard of someone being a seasonal reader, I like your reason for it!
This sounds just lovely
Reddit is not the community to try something like that with.
What happened to the first one?
Nice, yeah I hear Kobo is a pretty great alternative to Amazon and seems to be popular nowadays. If my Kindle broke it's probably the first brand I'd check out.
What are overdrive books?
Interesting, I live in the Bay Area and had never heard of this.
Sweet thanks for posting this!
