It appears so, unless I'm missing something.

Google Bookmarks has a much more efficient way to add things to lists, but it's still...not ideal.

So far most of the other sites I see recommended are very focused on visual thumbnails and caching...not the most useful features for indexing book reviews (I'm sort of baffled as to what visual thumbnails ARE good for--I can't tell from a thumbnail of a costuming website whether it covers 16th century Italian or 14th century Japanese, personally. That's what text notes and tags are for!).

I'm frankly surprised Yahoo isn't trying to raise capital to save or sell Delicious, as Xmarks did--especially given the foothold Delicious got in the education world. There are a lot of unhappy libraries out there.
