I have a problem with all those "track your reading" systems.

They do not have books in Polish. Or handle one language. Or do not have a way to link book in one language to the same book in other language.

Which mean that with each book I read, I need to enter all details just to be able to mark "I read that". And if there are no other users reading in Polish, then it is just a list with not needed work.

Had to check something and my suspicion got confirmed...

There are several copies of the same book all over again. Check George Orwell and all those copies of 1984:
