Goodreads on Kindle E-readers Just Got Even Better! (U.S., Canada, & Australia)
After we launched Goodreads on Kindle e-readers, one of the requests we heard most from readers was, “When will we be able to share progress updates?” Starting today, the answer is now! This is just one of the many features now available on the new Kindle, the Kindle Voyage and the second generation Kindle Paperwhite, in the United States, Canada and Australia.
For all of you clamoring for the ability to add a book to your Goodreads shelves, we haven’t forgotten you either. Just go to your Kindle device library and tap and hold on any book to shelve it on Goodreads.
Being able to see what your friends think of a book – and which of your friends are reading a book - is one of the most popular features on Goodreads. Now you can not only see your friends’ reviews but also their ratings, shelves and progress updates on any book on Goodreads on your Kindle e-reader.
The updated version of Goodreads is available in a free, over-the-air software update delivered automatically on the new Kindle, the Kindle Voyage, and the second generation Kindle Paperwhite in the United States, Canada, and Australia in the coming weeks. Can’t wait? You can also visit www.amazon.com/kindlesoftwareupdates to download it.
We don’t have details to share about other Kindle e-readers or introducing Goodreads on Kindle to members of other countries at this time, but our goal is to provide the Goodreads on Kindle experience to as many of our members as possible. In the meantime, other options to consider are Goodreads on our iPhone/iPad app or our Android app, available from the Amazon Appstore for Android or from Google Play.

Sarah, it looks like you're in the UK. Unfortunately we don't have any news about a release for our UK members, but we would like to bring Goodreads on Kindle to everyone going forward!
This needs to be available in the UK. I'm amazed it isn't available yet and it gives a poor impression of Amazon and Goodreads.
Does sharing the reading progress work with books purchased or downloaded from other stores than Amazon? For example I have the "James Potter"'s ebooks and I would like to use this feature with them. PS: I linked them with Calibre through "Goodreads Sync" plugin, is that necessary for this to work?
It's disappointing to see that Goodreads didn't get integrated with the Android app. It was my favorite feature on my iPhone since I was able to post a review to both sites as well as have it marked as finished and moved to the read shelf without ever leaving my Kindle app. I recently had to switch to my old Samsung phone after a grape juice incident with my iPhone and now I need to constantly remind myself to hop over to this app just to keep myself organized. Hopefully there can be an update SOON.
One year later how about the availability in Germany?
When should we see it running on German accounts (amazon.de) ? It is almost 4 years later this was launched on US...
Did you have to enable anything on the GR site for this to appear on Kindle or was it automatic?
