Notes
- status: to read, currently reading, finished reading
- title/isbn/author's name
- p-read-status microformat - the process of adding a microformat: we could just add a p-category = to_read
statistics and reading progress seems to help encourage reading
lifecycle:
- to read: nice to have a "reason" field
- acquired (purchased, borrowed (from someone, or library), downloaded)
- started reading
- finished chapter or at a certain page number
- or read a particular section or range of pages (especially for progress)
- finished reading
- rated, reviewed, or recommended
- returned the book, or sold it, or passed it on to someone else
- retained the book in your library, possibly to loan out
(there may be a progress html element?)
idea of sharing a book
Tantek Çelik has a "library of infinite loan" - only rule is "don't throw it away", ok to loan it forward on same terms, ok to return it to previous person.
roughly 300 people have used indiebookclub.biz
- progress: would need to add both numbers yourselves (or one of the following pairs)
- start page and end page
- end page and total number of pages
- start location and end location (for Amazon Kindle)
- end location and highest location number (for Kindle)
can fallback to p-summary (since there is no e-content)
