Yesterday's Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported:
Amazon.com is buying Shelfari, the Seattle social networking startup for book lovers, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.

The deal comes about three weeks after Amazon.com acquired Victoria, B.C.-basedAbeBooks, which holds an equity stake in Shelfari's main rival, LibraryThing.
An announcement is expected shortly.

Hm. I use GoodReads; I wonder if Amazon has its sights set there, too.
