I discovered Librarything recently, and am still forming an opinion about it.

I have a Librarything account and I have to say I gained a lot of pleasure remembering books I'd read and finding the book covers. I then hit a ceiling and so didn't return until your question. I find I can add more books now so I will.

I do not recall my password at librarything, I quit there when I hit the book limit. The system was smarter I think, for different editions and non-american books. At Goodreads sometimes they insist to change your book edition to another and are not so smart, for example, if You write Gogol, they do not reckon as Nicolai Gogol, etc.

I hit my limit too, but I've just been on and they've upped it.

I have to add that the Goodreads site has a mobile app through which you can edit your books. The Library thing has an app but you are not able to edit.
