weRead is the largest, most popular book application. With weRead you can

• List, rate and write reviews about the books you are reading or have read in the past.
• Browse what other readers/friends are reading and what they are saying about books you're interested in.
• Find readers/friends with similar reading interests as you and learn which books they recommend.
• Have fun with books! And who wouldn't want that?

A: Search for any book and then go to the options on the right side of the page. You will see four buttons for every book - "Reading It", "Read It", "Wanna read", "Won't Read". Click the button that best describes your relationship with the book. Once you click the button, the book will be automatically added to your weRead list. You can then rate the book, write a review, mark as favorite, and tell your friends that you own it.

A: Once you add a book, the buttons should change to a canvas which suggests your status along with an option to check mark "Is my favorite" or "I own a copy". You should be able to just click on those check boxes to indicate Is a favorite/I own.

If you wish to change the status of a book then you can just go "My Reads". Locate the book (using sorts) that you wish to change the status of. Once you have found the book you should see the same canvas page. You can now check/uncheck the boxes or even change your reading status.

A: If you see a book in your My Reads or Search, weRead shows you a list of friends that have added that book and also shows you their average rating. You can also click on the "Friend's Reads" tab on your weRead page. Once you do that, you're given two options to look at your Friend's Reads. You can choose to Browse by Friends or Browse by Books.

A: We do not currently show reviews next to the search atom of the book. However, you can see all of your reviews if you go to My Reads and then Reviews link. We will increase the visibility of reviews soon.

Click on the option that you would like and hit sort. Your books get sorted to your choice immediately.

A: We can only import wish lists from Amazon's US site, Amazon.com We are working to expand this option to other Amazon sites.

Sometimes Amazon does not return anything, even if your ID is valid. You can also try entering the URL (Web address) of your wish-list in the "Import your books" --> "Get ISBNs from a webpage". Your wishlist will come in multiple pages and you will have to give each page separately.

A: We are working on this - when you add a book it does not become part of the database we use to search for books.  So it is there, but not searchable.

A: Not this time. We are working on a feature that will allow you to take your book list with you wherever you go.
