“evil corporation” is quite the tautology.
I’m afraid this is not an ebook reader, but a book tracker.
This is an offline tracker, so it doesn’t compare per se. There were talks about integrating bookwyrm into the app, but as of now there is no public API.
This project was actually my exit way from Goodreads. Unlike another commenter, I found virtually no issue with searching for books in European languages. All the statistics which GR offers are available, and you can easily import your books to the app. And of course, no ads, zero trackers and open source.
The only caveat is the social aspect, since this is an offline tracker.
Edit: If you have any concerns, hop on the matrix community where the dev is active.

Give Vimusic a try!
Not open source but the app is ad free and has zero trackers.
Personally it made me nostalgic since I left spotify a few years ago and I long for those summer nights listening to my playlists while writing and reading.
We’re not arguing against profitability. However, making growth and profit central to social platforms is the culprit.
Some people might have already paid for coins before the incident.
I’m still researching what OS will be ideal for me when in the close future and it seems until now it’s ubuntu (or kubuntu), but I will make sure removing snap is the first thing to do.
Works fine for me. You can open an issue on Github.
