Goodreads x Kindle Integration

Goodreads partnered with Kindle in 2016 and has made it possible for Kindle users to view and access their GoodReads "Want to Read" list straight from their devices. This means that Kindle users have access to Goodreads recommendations and can view their own shelves and lists of books that have been read/want to be read. Goodreads is a completely free resource for Kindle users and even provides the option to download samples of certain books. Goodreads makes it possible to follow and keep up with authors and their new releases. Both Kindle and Goodreads exist as applications which can be downloaded onto a smart device and accessed via cellphone or tablet. It is first necessary for Kindle users to create an account with Goodreads from either their laptop or the application prior to using it on the Kindle device. In addition to this, Goodreads allows users to track their reading progress as well as set personal reading goals. Kindle users with a Goodreads account can participate in public reading challenges and share their progress with other users and friends. Users have access to a variety of curated book lists that make it easy to find new books from any category and are able to download them immediately onto the device by opening the books in the Kindle store. While Goodreads is considered a featured add on, it is possible to unlink Goodreads from the Kindle device. This can be done through settings located on the home screen of the kindle.
