Discussion How are you handling the new 0.25-star ratings?

42 Upvotes

Apparently, the rating scale now goes from 0.25 to 5.00, meaning it's been extended downwards and 1 star is no longer the lowest possible rating. I'm wondering whether this change to the rating scale will affect the automated recommendations. Are you going back and adjusting all your old ratings to fit the new scale, using the new scale from now on, or just sticking with the old 1-5 star system?

Discussion No ability to tag a book for a shelf anymore

0 Upvotes

I was just writing a review but found there is no longer a way to tag a review to a shelf any more (or at least this was the case when I had given a rating, written review and added dates and submitted and went back to edit since I was thinking I hadn't added tags like normal). It's not a biggie, but does change the ability for me to categorise what I read. I assume this is the same user experience for others too. Does anybody know if removing this ability is intentional?

I love being able to do ratings in .25 increments now though.
