@tivasyk Ahh, got it. Yeah, AbeBooks owns 40% of LT, and Amazon now owns AbeBooks. I haven't seen any Amazon influence on the site, though -- different from Goodreads. LT seems to be evolving at a slightly faster pace than Goodreads, which I guess is somewhat amazing considering that Goodreads is an Amazon unit now. OTOH, I do take frequent exports of my data.

Anyhow, I think you and I are in full agreement. I'd rather host locally. LT has its warts, but I haven't found anything better yet.
