I think because Amazon owns Goodreads + Audible + Kindle there's virtually no incentive for anyone to compete, and thus the platform has need to improve

nook

Yep it's a bit of a shame.

I'm personally indifferent as I use it just to mark books as "Read it later" and naively hope one day Amazon will care enough to integrate features into Audible or Kindle (don't think they ever will lol).

Books

As one of the largest Farcaster channels, I've got big plans for /books in 2025.

We had a great year: strong organic growth w/o financial incentives & a clear value proposition that appeals to non-crypto audiences.

With some hard work, we can make /books the highest signal community on the internet for readers.
