What is the iRead Facebook Application?
iRead allows you to display what you’ve read, what you are reading, what’s on your reading list on your Facebook Profile. Additionally, you can write book reviews and rate the books on your list. iRead’s best feature is that it matches you up with people with similar reading tastes. You can find out even more books to read and perhaps start a book swap.
Another nice feature is that there’s a board that lists who the top reviewers are as well as what the top books are amongst iRead users.
You can search for books to add to your list by ISBN, title, or author. You can also import your Amazon wishlist to iRead.
iRead Pros
- Takes full advantage of Facebook’s social network. iRead is the complete deal. Not only does it allow you to see what others are reading, it matches you up with people who read the same kind of stuff as you. In a word: awesome.
- Well integrated. You don’t have to go to some site off of Facebook to use it.
- Over 1 million books to choose from
- No kinks! Hoo-ray!
iRead Cons
- Try as I might, I can’t find anything missing or wrong with this app. It’s that good.
iRead is as close to perfection as a Facebook app can get. The developers not only understand the power of Facebook’s social network, they also know how to harness it. This is definitely going to be one of Facebook’s more popular applications.

Why do only some of my books (Reading it, Read it) show covers on my profile page? Does facebook only show covers for books listed on iRead? The others were pulled from Amazon, using the iRead interface… Makes no sense to me.
I would really like to be able to have access to an rss feed of my iread data so i can include it in my blog. I would add that to the con list
is there like a actualy website that this is based off of? or one that is set up like this? becasue i woudl LOVE to have a website that I could browse and such set up like this out side of face book
The idea is very good. The only con is that once someone add’s wrong information to an ISBN number in the system, you can’t change it, and can’t even add the book you read properly.
