I am using goodreads.com to create my shelves.

* You can find your book easily and add to your shelf and also you can track if you read or not. * Most of the book have its photos. I have both Turkish and English books and for both it is very effective. I didn't try Calibre for Turkish books btw. Also you can check your books anywhere you like.

Calibre can integrate with Goodreads if you use the plugin in Calibre for Goodreads. This way you can synchronize your shelves and progress. There's an obvious downside to Goodreads: your privacy. Having all my privacy settings as high as possible, I do like it, but a data leak would expose my personal data.
Unfortunately goodreads looks like its on maintenance mode in the last few years. The ability to post updates on books / publications which don't have ISBN is the feature I miss the most :-(
Goodreads requires all books/shelves are publically-visible, which you may not want.
