After four years, the daily deals network LivingSocial has decided to shutter its Books section.
The site encourages users to export their accounts to GoodReads. Below, we’ve included directions about how to move your LivingSocial account and save your collection. Our sibling blog AllFacebook has more about the Facebook implications of the closure.
Here’s more from LivingSocial: “First of all, thank you for your enthusiastic support over the past four years. Your continued engagement with our these applications means a lot to us here at LivingSocial, and we’re sad that we haven’t been able to dedicate the time and effort you deserve to keep this community alive and thriving. It’s not you. It’s us. You see — about two years ago — we tried a new idea, which has taken our team and company in a new direction. This community needs tools and products that are fully supported and continually improved, and unfortunately, this is something we just can’t support right now. We know your data is important to you. Before we discontinue the service, we want to give you the opportunity to save it. Login to your account to export.”
