Recently opened books will automatically appear on users&#8217; &#8220;Currently Reading&#8221; shelves, and reading progress percentages will sync between the Kobo and Storygraph platforms. Similarly, finishing a title on the Kobo will automatically mark it as &#8220;read&#8221; in StoryGraph, and the star rating will sync as well. If users want more fine-grained control they will be able to manually edit entries within Storygraph. The new integration will support all Kobo account-based content, including both ebooks and audiobooks.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Y\">\n<p>For Kobo users, this is a very worthwhile quality of life upgrade and has been requested <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/kobo\/comments\/1flkn8t\/we_need_a_book_tracking_app_that_syncs_with_kobo\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\">reddit threads<\/a> For years. Many consider automatic tracking to be one of the few remaining ecosystem benefits of the Kindle. This move looks great for Kobo too. While Amazon&#8217;s Kindle ecosystem continues to take off, Kobo has consistently offered more flexible but equally well-developed alternatives.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"e_e e_Y\">\n<p>Meanwhile, Storygraph has built a strong reputation for analytics and personalized recommendations. It also offers motivational and community features like reading orders, challenges, and book clubs. Automatic syncing should make all of those features feel more intuitive to Kobo users and help make Kobo&#8217;s ecosystem feel even more complete.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-container-type=\"content\">\n<div class=\"e_8c e_Y\">\n<p>Thank you for being a part of our community.
