Why I’m about to remove “reading list by amazon” from my linkedin profile

Posted on by

I started to use this application at the end of 2008 and stopped about 3 years (and more than 80 books) later due to two intrinsic limitations of it.

First limitation: it’s not possible to start a discussion about the books.

Second limitation: if a book is not sold by Amazon it doesn’t exist.

As I’ve started this blog I don’t see a good reason to keep using the application: here the opportunity to followup and comment is available and I’m not limited to the books sold by a single shopping site.

As part of the removal process I’ll copy the content of the current reading list into a dedicated post.

Anyone interested in discussing one of my comments about the books can let me know and I will elaborate in a dedicated post.

    • I did not did it yet as I’ve not completed the transpose in the blog.
      Did you tried the X on the upper right corner of the application in your linkedin home view and it did not worked?

      • No, I didn’t have an X there.

        I was able to get it to go away eventually. I went through More > Get More Applications, and was able to find where to remove it there.
