![]() In the UK real books have seen an uptick.īookmooch has done a lot, but I cannot help wonder if some software improvements could not keep some more readers and increase to other countries. There has been a decline in e-book sales in the US but not in other countries. They say yes AND at the same time that confirms my mooching of the book.ĭid you try implementing a Robots exclusion standard?ġ0 years is great. They say yes they would send - please mooch the bookģ. I would want to disable that person's inventory from being suggested in my moochable copies (as they are not really moochable at all).įor international mooches there seems an unnecessary step.ģ. I have 3 books I want to Mooch - and bookmooch tells me they are available, but I get no response from those with the books when I try mooch or even email them directly. I would like that non-responding members (on vacation / not logging in for over a year) have a grayed out account and their books are not shown up in searches. There are other things that bug - I would like a recently mooched page - not just recently offered (especially if the people would after reading then mooch on - like bookcrossing does so we could integrate with them). Again this makes anyone finding and mooching the book unlikely. This is really annoying when there is a series of say 6 books and they all show as the same picture and same title. There is no way to correct this or to upload the correct picture to my inventory entry. I search for a book on ISBN and its found only the wrong picture or wrongly spelled title or author is there. which relates to the other issue that really bugs me.Ģ. In this case it is a Finnish language book. ![]() ![]() To be told by Bookmooch it is in Amazon - only the book displays nothing, no name, no cover picture and no author - not surprisingly this will never be mooched. I add a book - its not found when searching by ISBN, so I hand enter it. A couple of examples that really bug me:ġ. It frustrates me I am not a programmer so cannot fix them myself. could an open API be part of this?Īt times some features are clunky, usable but clunky. I wonder about the long term survival and if integration with others such as Goodreads - which is also global and free - might be possible. But I do notice that there could be updates and improvements in my usage. I really value the work done to keep this great site going. Sadly though some people need this happening to save bother for the rest. I don't like doing it, I would rather keep the respectful and friendly tone most seem to have on BM. Why are the p and b and p not visible? Were they written in yellow or something? This also means that people do not mooch my books - I would guess a quarter are on wishlists that are in my inventory.Īnyway good that John continues to work on BM. This is my biggest annoyance - almost all the books I want are in the USA and I find that people there largely will not send - they send only in their own country. When you spent loads of money buying and sending books - it is nice to be able to get books in return. I do think that the points system is an incentive. I think that BookCrossing aims at this to some extent. For myself I think it can make some sense to allow people to share their book collections as NOT moochable, lendable, swappable or you can only read it in their homes. I think that the DataCrow people would be worth speaking with. Sure there are voluntary donations and also some clickthru sales from Amazon. The only thing I am unsure of is the revenue model that BookMooch has operated under. It would also deal with the criticism that Amazon is a behemoth destroying small businesses (which we are supporting to the exclusion of alternatives, which in my case means almost none of the Finnish books I list are included). So we could have BookMooch also be CD Mooch and Video / DVD Mooch. Datacrow has accessed a number of databases (so WorldCat would be a good one - it might sidestep the Amazon issue too as they still seem to be accessing Amazon) but also it has modules for films and CDs. I still think that working with Datacrow can be a good idea. The Footman and I (The Footmen's Club) Paperback – May 23, 2020 I also see you have 11 points so you could mooch 11 books in the USA or 3books from outside.ĭoes not find it with 10 for me though. I also list them to be mooched away - as you will see in my inventory.Ĭarol you only list 8 books and you say you will only send to your own country so that is probably why no-one is mooching from you. ![]() I have seen bookcrossing books I did not take and mooched book crossing books too.
