I’m still on Goodreads but it’s so slow, the app’s just an even slower webview of the site and the redesign has made me have to click more to do what I want.
What’s the alternative? Obviously we’re on the fediverse and I see people talking about Bookwyrm.
I used Anobii till 2010 and I can’t remember why I left but it’s still there. I’ve poked StoryGraph a bit but it was lacking several of the books I wanted to add.
There must be more! What do you use/recommend?
As in the ebook manager? I don’t see any way to track your reading or other lists on there. Is it a plugin, or are we talking about different Calibres?
You can do it pretty easily in Calibre with custom columns for reading status, rating, etc. For Kobo users, the KoboTouchExtended plugin syncs reading status automatically (I’m sure there’s some equivalent for other ereader brands).
ah, I didn’t realise that custom columns was a thing you could do! Makes sense then. I might see if there’s a way automate adding all my last read dates into a column.
I guess you can only track books you have as an ebook, so no dead-tree versions or to-read lists.
If you really wanted to track books you don’t have digitally, I guess you could use a dummy file (even a blank txt could work) and use Calibre itself to add all the metadata. It’s far from ideal, though.
