I'm going to turn on WiFi on the 24th of March. That will be 4 weeks since I did so before. I'll see what happens to my side loaded eBooks.

Me too. I’m a Kindle user so I see no point in moving away from GR. GR has the books. SG is still lacking in that area for me. I think it’s a hot mess too. I use Bookly for the infographics. Also, I like knowing how long it takes me to read. I’m weird like that.
For me, the issue is that GR has listings for books that are not released and likely will never be released due to the author passing away but for which there are reviews and ratings.

And before a book is released, it's full of crap ratings and reviews. So it can take a rather long time to get the ratings and reviews sorted.

I do not see this with Storygraph.

That doesn’t bother me at all. Does it suck? Yes, does it impact me on the daily? Absolutely not. I’d rather have it have too many books than not enough.

GR has wrong covers, never used on published copies, wrong series info and even lists colorists or illustrators as writers.
The Admins won't fix errors even for publishers.

Amazon has done nothing to fix it since they bought it and otherwise only made click through to Amazon for titles easier.

See also changes to Amazon owned IMDB.

I keep meaning to check what Bookwrym is like. It's in the Fediverse.

It’s not great. I have a Bookwyrm account. The database is terrible. Each instance has its own database. I want it to be better, but it just isn’t.

Have you guys reported this issue to Amazon?

I gave up. They didn't care or something. Maybe it has changed.

Goodreads has been made worse. You have to request a book or edition be added by the librarians.

FWIW, it has to be a real error, not a "this isn't the exact way I like it and my way is the only right way".

You said the Admins won't fix errors, so I assumed you hadn't taken it to the Librarians group, which is the way to submit that kind of error.

By Admins I meant "Librarians".
