I tried every book platform for 2026 (so you don’t have to)

I just finished testing every book platform I could find. That’s thirteen platforms where you can track, record, and keep tabs on the books you’ve read or have yet to read.

Note: At the point of publishing this video Italic Type have released a notice that they will be shutting down in January 2026. So keep that in mind.

My thoughts on Goodreads:    • I’m done with Goodreads. Here’s why.
