This is big news IMHO, so I have included a link to an analysis of the action from Wired magazine.

I have just been getting into Goodreads, as I have joined the Boomer lit group there, which was started not so long ago by Claude Nougat, a new NABBW member. Here's Claude's post about the acquisition. Here's her post: Why Amazon Bought Goodreads and What it Means for Publishing

As we have so many authors in the group, wanted to share both posts and of course, I'd live to hear some thoughts...

Here's another take on why Amazon acquired GoodReads...

Apparently TechCruch sees this as a strategic marketing move: Amazon Acquires GoodReads
