I'd just started a hobby project to use the Goodreads API for book recommendations. That's not going to happen now.

I feel bad for people who put more work than I did into using the API. It seems kind of short-sighted to me, I'd have thought anything promoting book-reading would be good for Amazon/goodreads.

Hopefully it's the catalyst for a good alternative to appear. I know developers weren't happy with the API, or users with the site in general.
