@feditips @bookwyrm woo,made an account and imported my GoodReads data! Loving the mobile interface so far.
So what #BookWyrmTips and other advice do ya'll have? Is anyone talking about Reading Groups or anything with hashtags or a.gup.py groups?
@Crazypedia @feditips @bookwyrm
Can bookwyrm input my books, bought on Amazon, from my Kindle
app? 
@anniemo71 @Crazypedia @bookwyrm
Hmm... I don't know.
You can import data into BookWyrm from GoodReads, LibraryThing, StoryGraph, OpenLibrary and Calibre. It works by exporting a CSV file from these services, and then importing the same file into BookWyrm.
If there's a CSV file export function on Kindle, maybe you could try importing that?
@feditips @Crazypedia @bookwyrm
Thank you. I will take a look
@anniemo71 @Crazypedia @bookwyrm
By the way, Amazon owns Goodreads so maybe there is some way to export your Kindle purchases to Goodreads? If so, you can then move them to BookWyrm from there.
@feditips
I didn't realise that. Thank you 
@feditips @anniemo71 @Crazypedia @bookwyrm
You can synch between #kindle and the powerful #FOSS calibre.org and then export, I think.
@HistoPol @feditips @Crazypedia @bookwyrm
Thank you. I will take a look

Talking about #Bookwyrm
1) the founder seems to have closed registration due to lack of time.
2) do I get ISSN/ISBN support, I.e. importing the abstract?
I do not like to generate traffic for multinationals, in particular free of charge for books on #Amazon, but also not doing unnecessary work.
If not: why not just talk about the books here with a link, as I have done today?
(OK, search function.)
