The Bookshelf has been redesigned making it less confusing. It is now easier to add books and easier to search your bookshelf. I am currently internally testing tags (like in del.icio.us) for both books and authors and finding people with the same favorite authors.

I am also testing out ISBN search and entering books using barcode readers.
