It also doesn't have loads of options for tracking your reading, which tbh I like, but a lot of people want to be able to set goals, see books read etc. Libib is also not really a community focused website, you can publish (and unpublish) individual libraries if you want friends to have access to them, but you'd need to send them the url or they'd have to search for you by name. You can also very easily move books between libraries so if you lend a book out you can have a separate library for this. You can also add tags, group series together, make notes, set a status such as unread, abandoned etc, rate the books (1-5 stars including half stars) and add your own review. If I ever decide to catalogue my paper books I'd probably scan them using the app then make any changes on the website. I did download the app and is also very easy to scan isbn from a physical book. I did not have a library catalogue at all so had to add each book one by one, it's very easy to do using the isbn and very easy to edit info such as the blurb, the cover etc. It's got a clean yet sophisticated interface, you can add up to 5k books and 100 libraries (same as book shelves) with a free account which is more than enough for me. I went with Libib and it's perfect for me. I tried librarything but found it quite clunky, a little too much like goodreads, although I found the community aspect on that is second to none. Calibre was also not an option as I don't really love the interface and is too complicated tbh. I ruled out goodreads (for obvious reasons!), storygraph also didn't appeal plus I like its algorithm for recommendations and want to keep it as free of my books as possible so as not to influence it too much. I decided I needed to catalogue them but wanted something clean looking that would display the cover and a short description. (Disclaimer - my experience is based on Windows and Android) I was in a similar position a few weeks ago - I have over 1k unread ebooks sitting in a folder on my laptop and was fed up of not even remembering what a lot of them were about and giving up searching through so many books for my next read.
