The Kindle Chronicles
TKC 245 Otis Chandler
Founder and CEO of Goodreads.com
Interview Starts at 9:43
Goodreads is a place today for readers of all platforms, no matter how they read the book–whether it be a Kindle or Nook or a physical book, etc., to share what they thought of the book and find new books. And that’s not going to change. I think a lot of people have been having the misconception that that would change. That’s something that’s just fundamental to Goodreads, and if we changed it, it would just be so negative that we’re not even considering that.
