I filled it in but had problems
In question 3, I had to rate things in order I liked them but hadn't heard of any of them, and in question 6 where it offered colour schemes, I just got identical icons saying that it hadn't downloaded the image.
That might be a hint to choose something that can work for people with slow broadband speeds, I don't know

Filled it in but I couldn't view the color schemes either. I do have high speed broadband, but maybe my 11-year-old processor is the culprit.

I was able to see the colour schemes, but I have good broadband and a fairly new laptop.

Same problem as Jim with one of the qestions so I just skipped it.

Now that's just gloating! :-)

not boasting ;-) but did it on a tablet and the pictures were quite small on there - no technical issues anyway.

well it's flagged up one problem, you have to have a website that works on phones, tablets, desk top machines and with every sort of broadband down below 1meg

I didn't care for any of the colour scheme choices so I chose the one I disliked the least.

Don't know if you're aware of this group, Stacey.

Will give you a great overview of the problems encountered by users in goodreads.

I'd expect the other book sites would have the same sort of feedback areas.

Just done. The colour schemes didn't seem that different from each other, but I was able to express a preference.

One thought occurs. When it comes to a book review site, it can make a lot of difference if the user is a reader only or a reader and writer. Writers are looking for book review sites to help promote their books, but it's a balance. Too much writer stuff turns readers off (and rightly so).

GR has features solely for writers and it also maintains a separation from writers by having parts of the website where writers can't market. That's an important feature for me. I like having somewhere to sell but also somewhere to go where no-one is going to sell me anything. Usually.

Good luck with your project. Sounds interesting.
