Nice project.

What do you take into account when computing the similarly of two books? Do you use metadata (genre, author, etc.) or something else? Note that I'm more interested in the data that is used rather than in the methodology.

Thank you!

Some sites will show you "other users also saw..." information. This is a very raw form of similarity, but a good similarity score can be computed from that data. There is no metadata involved at all right now.
