Welcome to Open Library | Open Library

Open Library is an open, editable library catalog, building towards a web page for every book ever published. Read, borrow, and discover more than 3M books for free.

Open Library (not activitypub compatible) is an ISBN database type service. But, it also has reading list/want to read/book review and rating features. So, my question is from a features standpoint and index standpoint (number of books indexed), which is better?

    Like that’s my point, why not just use Open library at that state?

      Mostly for the federated bits I assume. Being able to follow people’s bookwyrm accounts from your other socials is an interesting idea, though I don’t know how often it actually happens in practice. If that stuff doesn’t interest you then yeah just use OL directly ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

        Thanks, I was wondering if there was any feature/index issues. Since there doesn’t seem to be any, I will use OL. Appreciate the reply.
