"The BookLikes story has quite a few universal lessons in it. Startups that succeed are the startups that are not afraid of change, that listen to their communities, that learn from their mistakes, and that find a unique itch and scratch it. Most importantly startups that succeed are startups that don't give up. I'm pretty sure you can substitute "people" for the word "startups" in each of those sentences."

Goodreads did that too. I really hope that Dawid can find a different revenue stream than eventually being offered vast, unrefusable sums of money by a monolith like Amazon. Well, it would be Amazon wouldn't it?
