If you just want to track what books you've read, like me, I highly recommend Jelu!
I never thought about a reading tracker but immediately went to searching for a selfhosted option when I read this post. Thanks for saving me the time!
The most surprisingly good place I have found for ebooks recently is itch.io. Solid platform for indie content.
Hey so thanks for this. Helped me find some actual good books. All I had to do was put in the things that I actually liked.
You know, it's actually kinda wild how much published stuff caters to only a few average points in society and disregards the rest.
Did you know that some people actually commercially publish omegv novels? I had no idea but it's like christmas!

I don't really use Goodreads much but BookWyrm looks good so I've just switched over.
Does anyone have a review or thoughts on all these different trackers? I started switching to StoryGraph but new ones keep popping up and I don't want to have to try them all.
(StoryGraph, bookwyrm, hardcover, open reads, library thing, others)
I really like librarything, but the app doesn't have all the features the website has. In general it's great for cataloging your own books and crowdsourcing information but doesn't have the community aspect, although the website does have message boards.
I tried storygraph briefly, but didn't keep up with it. It felt like a chore to me at the time.
I'm intrigued by BookWyrm though, and am interested to see what others say about it. Haven't tried it yet but definitely considering it.
I've only looked at BookWyrm and Storygraph and BookWyrm seems pretty small so there arent many reviews. Thats why i switched to StoryGraph
StoryGraph is centralized and US -based. Bookwyrm is decentralized and part of the Fediverse.
The choice is easy to make.
If i want a good foss e-ink tablet or whatayoucallit that i can load any books onto what should i get?
Thanks will look into both :)
ohh thanks, just reminded me to wipe out my good reads account
Well shit. This is why we can't have nice things.
