As of December 8th 2020, Goodreads no longer issues new developer keys for our public developer API and plans to retire the current version of these tools. You can find more information here.

Allows browsing and searching the Goodreads database of books.

It's located in the 5th tab of the top menu First you should obtain the developer's key, by going to https://www.goodreads.com/api/keys.
After you fill in "Application name" and "Company name" fields, you click "update app info" button.
At the top of the page, you'll find your key and secret values. You need to enter them in the Goodreads Plugin.
If you don't want to type it by hand, you can first enter some "dummy" values, connect your e-reader to PC and paste them in their respective place in <koreader's directory>/settings/goodreadssettings.lua.

The file's contents will looks something like that

-- we can read Lua syntax here!
return {
    ["goodreads"] = {
        ["key"] = "dummy",
        ["secret"] = "dummy"
    }
}

Currently the plugin doesn't allow marking the books as Read
