My current setup is a calibre server, with all my ebooks behind it, and I was using Moon+ Reader as my reader app. A friend discussed using goodreads, since we've been talking about books back and forth. I went to look for a way to automatically sync my reading progress to goodreads, or anything else for that matter with a social aspect to it, and I am blown away by the lack of options for what seems like basic functionality. Initially I tried switching to the Kindle app, and having that track progress with Goodreads, but their integration seems to just not work, not to mention it can't see half my books (even ones it should be able to). On top of that, trying to import things into Goodreads is also a massive pain, and the lack of API access in 2023 is just unbelievable to me. I've looked into other services, but none of them seem to have any integrations or APIs that would make this possible.TL;DR, My question is, is this not a feature that normal people want? Auto tracking of reading progress which is forwarded/synced with a site like Goodreads from your ebook app? And/or, is there something I'm missing that makes this easier? via /r/ebooks https://ift.tt/tYBuzK4
