Save Your Shelfari from Goodreads - Paperback Writer

In his daily travels Panzer visited Paperback Writer today. It's one of his favorite sites and always has interesting posts. That proved to be particularly true today.

Back in January our inquisitive kitty explorer told you Amazon is taking Shelfari down and moving the accounts (but not the saved files) to Goodreads. Lynn Viehl's post today is about how you can save your Shelfari files. You can do this by transferring them to Library Thing. Library Thing will let you move your files and use them there for free. Included in the post are instructions for how to export your files to do the move.

Panzer says, "You better hurry. The shut down is only a few days away."

Note: You'll want to write down the instructions for moving your files, so you'll need a cup of tea and a muffin for today's reading.

Amazon is Shutting Down Shelfari - GoodeReader

Mine. Leave my book shelf along!

On his trip into the Catosphere today Panzer heard shouting and crying. Following the noise our brave kitty boy found some sad news at the GoodeReader site.

According to a post by Michael Kozlowski, Amazon is shutting down their Shelfari site in two months. Instead of updating the Shelfari site, Amazon has long concentrated their efforts on their Goodreads site. Like Shelfari, Goodreads allows readers to have bookshelves, review books and interact with others. Apparently, now Amazon has decided to shut down Shelfari. Many users of Shelfari are upset and expressing their anger online.

Panzer says, "Hmm ... Amazon could have given members more time and help."

Note: A cup of tea should be enough for today's reading experience.
