"I have read this book" and if it turns out they then go on to give their blather (like they do before it's released), report it so the review/rating can be deleted. |

I far prefer LibraryThing to GoodReads. I used to be a regular user there that I sort of drifted away from when I moved to ebooks. I don't like reviews on GoodReads loaded up with GIFs. If I see a couple of those on a book, I assume the book likely isn't for me. |

My main complaint about GR is that there have been very few improvements over the years. But I’m lazy, and am not prepared to abandon it and the associated integration with Kindle platform (accounting for 95% of my reading). |

I may be a snob, but I think GoodReads attracts a dumber crowd than LibraryThing. |

Amazon specifically told us they would not remove listings. |

If there were only digital versions sold, then Amazon can remove the listing, as those books can not be sold second hand. Shari |

Here's another example of a book that I own in ebook form, where the book was pulled from Amazon and the paper format is no longer in print. Notice that there is no listing for the ebook, but they still list the paperback because it is still available to buy second hand from other sellers.
