Anobii has existed as an online reading community since 2006, but with new investment from the HMV Group and from several of the UK's leading publishers, it has undergone a transformation.Anobii combines the social elements of Facebook, Twitter and GoodReads, the crowd-sourced knowledge base of Wikipedia, and the retail back-end to sell ebooks directly to consumers. It will enable readers to create and curate globally crowd-sourced topics (taxonomies) and title groupings which will add a new way to browse and discover books while adding an exciting element to title metadata.
