Better Goodreads! All the features I need for tracking my books and sorting them, and also discovering new books and learning which ones are most likely to be a good match for me!

SO nice. Finally, a Goodreads replacement. Really nice UI, fast and way easier than Goodreads. Recommendations will get better as more users get on. I only wish it could connect with my Kindle and automatically mark things read for me, but that's not their fault.

Thanks for the review Elyse! Syncing Kindle is something on our list of priorities. It's a very tough technical integration apparently (maybe on purpose), but we've got some things we're trying out to see if we can make that happen. Will keep you posted on how that's going.

Overall it's great. You still can see some performance issues and places to polish, but it's sooo much better than goodreads. I will go up to 5 stars when i will be able to find all of books I'm interested in or if i will get the option to add a book myself (I'm from Poland, polish books are still hard to find on Hardcover). One other thing - when i find my book it's usually English version, which for me is fine, but It would be great if i could choose (or manually add) my localized edition. If i read something in polish i would like to have the polish edition in my bookshelf. So - choosing book edition on bookshelf would be awesome.

Thanks for the review Jakub! We're hard at work polishing every little detail. Re: adding a book - that's coming soon. We just launched the Librarian feature and we're testing it. As soon as everything is ironed out we'll be adding the possibility to add your own editions. I can add you as a librarian if you want to be able to edit book data, just send me your @. If you know is ISBN of the specific edition you can also add it here: https://hardcover.app/books/new As for the edition you've read showing up on the book page - would showing the localized cover of the edition in your library and on the book page be what you're looking for? Thanks!
