Amazon's 'Your Books' revolutionizes book discovery and browsing experience

Amazon has launched a new book discovery service called "Your Books" to compete with its own platform, Goodreads. The feature organizes all the books users have bought, borrowed, or saved, including print books, Kindle, and Audible titles. It aims to fuel book discovery and recommendations based on users' reading history and preferences. Unlike Goodreads, the reviews on "Your Books" come from Amazon shoppers. The launch comes amidst a scandal on Goodreads involving review bombing, which has negatively impacted authors. The new feature focuses on leveraging Amazon's data for commerce and personalized recommendations. It also complements Amazon's Book Clubs section and aims to keep readers within Amazon's book-buying ecosystem.
