" I'm really happy to announce a new milestone for Goodreads: We are joining the Amazon family."
Hmm okay. So that's ginormous news and bound to bring hopes and fears with it. Already, in the comments, people have expresses their excitement and disappointment.

1. With the reach and resources of Amazon, Goodreads can introduce more
readers to our vibrant community of book lovers and create an even
better experience for our members.
2. Our members have been asking us to bring the Goodreads experience
to an e-reader for a long time. Now we're looking forward to bringing
Goodreads to the most popular e-reader in the world, Kindle, and further
reinventing what reading can be.
3. Amazon supports us continuing to grow our vision as an
independent entity, under the Goodreads brand and with our unique
culture.
It's important to be clear that Goodreads and the awesome team
behind it are not going away. Goodreads will continue to be the
wonderful community that we all cherish. We plan to continue offering
you everything that you love about the site—the ability to track what
you read, discover great books, discuss and share them with fellow book
lovers, and connect directly with your favorite authors—and your reviews
and ratings will remain here on Goodreads. And it's incredibly
important to us that we remain a home for all types of readers, no
matter if you read on paper, audio, digitally, from scrolls, or even
stone tablets.
For all of you Kindle readers, there's obviously an extra bonus in
this announcement. You've asked us for a long time to be able to
integrate your Kindle and Goodreads experiences. Making that option a
reality is one of our top priorities.

Well I have a Kindle Touch, so what all does that entail for me? Personally, I'm kind of excited about this but this is untouched territory...soooo.... I dunno
What do y'all think?
