Bookish

Bookish.com is a content discovery and ecommerce website devoted to books which launched in February 2013. The site allows users to browse an extensive database of books and authors, add books to user-created digital "shelves", get custom book recommendations, read editorial content and purchase physical books, ebooks, and audiobooks.[2].. Bookish was founded in 2011 in a joint venture backed by three of the "big six" Book Publishing companies - Hachette Book Group, Penguin Group (USA), and Simon & Schuster - with the goal of increasing the presence of book publishers in the book-buying industry (which was becoming increasingly dominated by Amazon.com due to the increased popularity of online bookstores), as well as to expand the overall book-buying market. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookish
