Bookwyrm was missing a lot of books, and I couldn’t quickly figure out a way to add them. I am pretty invested in Storygraph already so it wasn’t a big priority to figure it out.
@Bitrot Just search for the book you want, and if it isn’t on your instance, it will give you the option to import it from other instances, Inventaire or OpenLibrary. Then you’ll be able to edit the details. If none of these options are the right ones, you can manually add the book by clicking the last option.
But indeed, it does have a lot of missing books and editions of books. If you do not have the patience to add them, then it is clearly not for you.
Inventaire is also AP enabled, despite being centralized, tho.
I had like 1200 books when I tried it, and the number missing wasn’t too bad.
But I’m not doing a list of 100 books searching one at a time. It’s bad enough to have to do big chunks to add to my reading history because I don’t keep that up. Re-doing organization without bulk editing just isn’t going to happen.
