it is still in the beta stage - but it is pretty cool! the only problem that I see is it takes longer to get the books so if you have a lot of reading or you are fast, ou might want to go for the 3 at a time thing...


one other issue is that it doesn't make suggestions or keep track of your reading...

I like goodreads for that!

well thought I would share...if you all have any questions let me know - I have been using this for about 2 months now...

they have a lot of books too!

(oh, and NO I don't work for them or anything)

oh also dunno if anyone knows of this site - but it works totally different...I don't like it as much...but it is kind of cool too

the books there are more or less an exchange program...you pay postage.

    they are cool people arent they?

    he is also OCD about organizing...so it's kinda funny to move his books around...and shuffle up movies and cd's
