Ok. I'm a little GoodReads challenged. Am I missing something or can we not use emojis?? I'm feeling a little stripped of my ability to express myself properly without my emoji-dependence! (queue sticking out tongue emoji with eyes squinted shut!) Also, I guess there are no "likes" to comments? Sorry, I guess I'm Facebook/Instagram trained.
LIKE! smiley faceI also have those exact questions!
It depends on what operating system you’re using. I don’t have those features on my iPad (running on iOS like a cell phone) but I do on my desktop and presume I would be able to use them on a laptop. Goodreads took away those features on iOS last year for some reason (they’re always making annoying changes).

🙋🏻♀️ I can use them when I’m on my phone using the app. I’m not sure when using a desktop version…

😃 Thank you, Dung! 🥳🤩 Although, on the phone app I no longer have a “reply” button 😂😂
🙌🏻 Yay, glad the phone emoji worked for you. There’s definitely trade-off using the phone app vs the desktop version. 😁
Is there anyone who can do it on a laptop????
Okay. I'm hoping someone here can help. Or has some insight. I just went to Amazon, to my content and devices, and I wanted to send a book I got as a doc to my daughter's Kindle. But when I tried to do it, the only two devices showing up are our two phones. We should have four kindles showing up on that list, as well as some other phones. Any clue??? I tried it for books, not just for docs. Could some of you please go see if it's working normally for you on Amazon, under content and devices?????
If I send something to my Kindle, I have to use e-mail. I think you need to find the e-mail address for your daughter's Kindle and then e-mail to that.
Things I e-mail never show up in Content and Devices.

I'm on a laptop and I tried copy/paste on emojis from Kelly's message and it worked! 😃 😂😂

On my Kindle Content and Devices, I see the things I emailed if I switch to viewing Docs (Instead of the default Books).
Yes, my book is showing up under docs. I can send it to my phone or to my husband's phone, but neither of my Kindles, nor my kids' Kindles are showing up as options for where to send the book to. . . . :-(

Aha! That worked. Thanks
Marlene, do you know the e-mail address for your daughter's Kindle?To find it, go to "Your Account"
"Digital Services and Account Support"
"Manage Devices"
Under Kindle, it should list all the Kindles your family owns. Choose the one your daughter uses.
When I click on mine, it says "Rose's Kindle". When I click on that, it shows the e-mail address.
Rose, I can find her e-mail address, but I don't think I can e-mail it to her. I don't know I could do that. NetGalley e-mailed the book directly to my Kindle.
Can you have NetGallery e-mail it to her Kindle?
Rose, I think you found my problem with that suggestion. I went to NetGalley to see if I could have the book sent to Nora's Kindle, and sent a new book to my Kindle since I saw that I needed to send it. And it didn't arrive to my Kindle. So I went to Amazon and decided to look at the list of devices . . . and there are no Kindles listed. I'll mention it to Dan - that he, needs to, apparently, re-add our Kindles to our account. Hopefully it will not be a problem to do so.
Adele (msg 22) - I believe that's true on my Android as well, but I don't use Goodreads on my phone - just on my laptop. Lucky you, though! :-D <--- (old tech emoji!)Rose (msg 20) - We figured it out! I told my husband that I tried everything I could think of, and I still couldn't figure out the problem. Guess what the problem was? My husband CHANGED HIS AMAZON password! We had to re-enter his password on all the Kindles, and . . . voila!
Marlene -- it's always the simple things that trip you up!Glad to hear of your success.
Okay, I have another technical question. Goodreads keeps sending me e-mails. I have turned off almost all e-mails on Gooodreads, and somehow I am still managing to get e-mails when people leave comments. Any recommendations????????

I think if you don't open them then eventually the frequency will fade. I get emails for other comments when I comment on a discussion thread, but if I ignore the email alerts, then they stop sending them for that discussion thread.

So I've just e-mailed myself all the emojis that I normally use, and I can now copy and paste them into Goodreads or wherever I want to on my laptop:

Normally I wouldn't paste them all. :-) .... or rather, 🙂

Sam wrote: "👍🙂🤟🐱🔥😆🤷♀️🙄😢⚡😱😉😅🤔☹️☎️😁😳🤞❌😬Where do you save them so they are readily available?"I put them in my profile. I will add to them as I come across more in my GR browsing.

I sent myself an email with "emoji library" as the subject. Easily recognizable if i search for that phrase on my Gmail account. I like Cindy's idea also.
And, we will all put our heads together to hopefully give you a helpful answer. :)
