<p dir="auto">I just spent a solid chunk of time importing and correcting various accounts to <a href="https://eggplant.place/users/soratoyuki/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">NeoDB</a> and <a href="https://bookwyrm.social/user/soratoyuki" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Bookwyrm</a> and they are both petty frustrating to use, especially with how much content is missing, mislabeled, or duplicated. Plus, they don't seem to federate with each other (understandable, in so far as very few parts of the Fediverse actually federate well together [unlike, perhaps, Mastodon and mbin]) or even support exporting/importing data from each other.</p>

<p dir="auto">The only downside is that Kindle directly integrates with GoodReads, I'm not sure there's been any independent efforts to integrate alternatives into e-readers.</p>
