NOOOOO! I have been a loyal Shelfari-an for years, faithfully recording my books read as well as back-tracking through my bookshelves all that time. I should have known; I had noticed over the past few months some of the features had begun to degrade and no one seemed interested in fixing it.
About a year and a half ago I looked at transitioning to Goodreads, as so many people seem to use it. I was even delighted to find that Shelfari had an easy export-to-Goodreads feature since they're both hosted by Amazon (should have known then!). However, upon exporting I discovered that all of the dates read were stripped out - kind of a super important detail! A huge part of the reason for keeping a log is to track when you read certain books, how many books you read in a given time period, etc.
And I had much better things to do with my time than to go through and add dates to hundreds of books.
Yet now I'm being forced to move. My fingers are crossed that the date issue has been corrected. I'm currently in the process of exporting, looks like it may take a while:
Anyone else out there devastated by the loss of Shelfari?
A very nice piece of content on Shelfari is merging with Goodreads and I really enjoyed accompanying stories related to transitioning to Goodreads. And I also loved your idea of add dates to hundreds of books which is more interesting in students who take finance dissertation help - http://www.dissertationhelp.uk/finance-dissertation/ from me at Dissertation Help UK where finance dissertation writers help to write the best possible to not only help you score a pass but to help you lead the finance degree!
