Questions about switching?
Yes. Goodreads has the richest path with CSV plus GDPR/DSAR import. StoryGraph CSV import is supported for reading history migration, and CSV/spreadsheet paths cover many manual or custom trackers.
SHELVD supports external-service connections where available, including Hardcover-facing sync capabilities on supported plans. We avoid calling it a direct Hardcover import until that import path is fully productized.
It depends on the source. Goodreads GDPR/DSAR exports can include deeper reading session history; CSV imports usually bring books, shelves, ratings, and dates. SHELVD uses whatever history your export provides.
Yes! SHELVD can push your updates to Goodreads automatically, so your friends still see your activity. Use SHELVD as your daily tracker, keep Goodreads for the social graph.
