Books!</p> <p>With recent news that Amazon is limiting everyone&rsquo;s ability to <a href="https://www.tomsguide.com/tablets/e-readers/hurry-download-your-kindle-ebooks-before-amazon-wont-let-you-anymore" title="Download your Kindle eBooks" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" > Download your Kindle eBooks</a> I am trying to move away from Amazon services where I can. Even though I don&rsquo;t own or use a Kindle (<a href="https://us.kobobooks.com/products/kobo-libra-2" title="Let&rsquo;s go Kobo!" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" > Let&rsquo;s go Kobo!</a>) or the amazon platform for eBooks, I still used Amazon&rsquo;s Goodreads app to track my reading. Because of them further closing their environment even I have decided to move to <a href="https://app.thestorygraph.com" title="The StoryGraph" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" > The StoryGraph</a> instead. It&rsquo;s an Amazon competitor that, arguably, provides better book recommendations and a cleaner and more modern interface to Goodreads. So below is my StoryGraph Stats so that you can see what I&rsquo;ve read, what I&rsquo;m reading now. I also will have that on my menu bar above for easier future access.</p>
