LibraryThing is intended to be useful for cataloging one's own collection, less so for finding new books. It's been around since 2006, yes, but it hasn't had big changes since the first year or so. I became a lifetime member not long after the site started and I've seen a few bugs for over a year. You're starting from a very different point, to make it easy for people who know one book to learn of the series and translations. Watch Patrick McKenzie's talks on SEO and scalable content generation. Even with LT and Delicious Monster (the other big personal library software), you can get a significant amount of traffic. Make an attractive page and get the SEO right and you could have a great steady income in affiliate fees for a low time investment. (Hell, if you get totally discouraged and decided to drop it, email me. Maybe I'll build it in my Copious Free Time. :)
