“Brilliant and User-friendly”

With all the slog and juggling entailed by indie publishing, it's great that there's an alternative website for offering your book in hopeful exchange of getting reviews. The site looks great, very professional, plus Library Thing staffers are helpful, patient, and professional. So glad I found them.

“Not user friendly”

The site doesn't allow for the wide variety of books that you might wish to catalog. For instance it doesn't allow for easy cataloging of a multi-volume series. Import function is quirky and inconsistent and cannot be customized (or at least no instructions are given for how to do it). I tried LibraryThing a few years ago and gave up on it after a few hours. Recently had another go and I don't think it's been improved or changed at all. Just not worth the trouble.

This site was hugely frustrating. I would like to blame this all on myself and my lack of technological ability. But, if you cannot contact the website staff for anything then the staff cannot get feedback on what needs to change. The site stays stagnant and partial only to their own thinking and how they believe other people should think and navigate the site. I gave two stars because I appreciate the effort.
