Why do I need to sign up? The "You are just a few clicks away from..." shows me that you don't have my best interests in mind. Please let me pick three books, provide a recommendation and then offer me to create an account.<p>Now I'm going to close my browser, get some sleep and completely forget about your supposedly awesome book recommendations.
I'd like to see projects like this work, particularly because I haven't always been pleased with the recommendations from Goodreads.<p>That said, your site's going to need more information about why it's any better before I sign up for an account. What genres do you cover? How wide is your database of books? Is it possible to offer a trial w/o an account? E.g., enter some books and get recommendations -- and then ask if I want to create an account w/ these settings so I can continue to get more recommendations?
I really like the idea of a more content-based approach to book discovery. It feels like a complex problem to me, since there are so many dimensions one could pivot on; and how to find them in the first place? As an example, I dislike first-person books even if they might seem like really good fits for the kinds of topics I read. There's also a clustering issue around "well, I like sappy space opera when I'm on vacation but more cerebral fantasy epics on the train". But good luck with solving that.
