Kobo announces StoryGraph sync forthcoming

[organized_chaos]

StoryGraph is working on a public API. Worse case scenario, we could probably write a script that uses the API to track data on side-loaded books.

Hopefully there will be an easy way to hook into the official integration though.

There's a KOReader plugin somewhere for StoryGraph.

Nice, an actual feature!!

With this plublic API, a plugin for calibre could be written to sync the reading position.

Ah yes, a 'plublic' API

There's Goodreads integration on Kindle?!

(I knew this, but forgot because I ignore it. LibraryThing is my book site.)

Guess what, it already exists.

That's a KOReader plugin, not a Calibre plugin

My bad.

That will not work without KOReader. So it's no good.

[dandaman]

It uses session cookies, nothing KOReader specific. So it could in theory be adapted for Calibre.

That's the way I look at it also. I've never been much into "tracking my reading." But I would buy a Libra B/W eReader if Kobo ever came out with one again. There's no color eReader in my future plans.

I know I'm looking for a Libra 3 BW.

Quite a few people on Kobo's Reddit page want a BW Libra.

So long as it's completely optional, I'm fine with it. Those who like it will use it and those who don't care (like me) won't.

Choice is good.
