Pagebound is described as 'Though readers have cultivated vibrant online communities through BookTok, Youtube, and Goodreads, these platforms aren’t meeting our basic needs. Goodreads (owned by Amazon since 2013) suffers from dated tech and an inflexible rating system' and is a Social Network in the news & books category. There are six alternatives to Pagebound, not only websites but also apps for a variety of platforms, including Android, iPhone, Android Tablet and iPad apps. The best Pagebound alternative is Goodreads, which is free. Other great sites and apps similar to Pagebound are BookWyrm, Open Library, StoryGraph and LibraryThing.
