Seems like you're competing directly with GoodReads, yet without the social network element, and as such I'd expect you'll have a hard time. I don't know how Goodreads makes money, but I'd guess some combination of 1) amazon/other affiliate links (maybe?) 2) sponsorships. But I can't imagine you'd ever get the kind of growth GR has gotten without the social element, because it keeps people coming back to the site. So my question for you is: what value are you offering? If it's just "organizing my library," then you'd need to 1) find pain points surrounding library organization that are so difficult that people will pay to make them easier, and/or 2) come up with some other novel features that also do 1). So, in other words: What problem are you solving? Who has this problem so bad they'll be willing to pay for it? How does your app solve the problem better than anyone else?
