  Is Kindle that dominant among book readers?

    Yes. Kindle is around 65% the ebook reader market in the US. Nook is about 25%. Apple and Kobo make up the rest. Kobo is more popular in Canada and in other international territories. https://booksliced.com/books/the-exact-ebook-market-shares-of-the-major-players-in-the-industry-are-rather-difficult-to-come-by-but-here-are-some-esitmates/ https://booksliced.com/books/the-exact-ebook-market-shares-o...

      Ya, it is a big barrier. But, you just have to approach it from different angles. Don't attempt to compete with Goodreads, but rather build something better that works in a new way around people's desires around books. Goodreads is just a review database, easy to innovate around that barrier.

      Fair enough, but that is just ebooks. Isn't goodreads also useful for dead tree readers? Although I guess the bibliophiles on goodreads are more likely to have an ebook reader.
