There was a recent great podcast interview of How I Built This with the goodreads founders. I would strongly recommend listening.

IIRC they talked about the early days, reasons for selling to amazon, being viral before that was a term, growing while being profitable, realizing they got more traffic than the New York Times did, why they thought their site was better than alternatives.
