Bookshelves query, sorry to be so stupid

So that we can provide faster and better support, this forum (the "Public Suggestion Box") has been retired. Instead, please send any suggestions you have to us using the official website contact form.

This allows us to streamline our support system so that we can get to your message much faster. Instead of our support staff having to check three different places (support forum, suggestion box, and contact form messages), they know can respond to all message through one method, with that one method being the official website contact form.

Bookshelves query, sorry to be so stupid

Post by debbiebee »

I apologise heartily for being so stupid and know there's probably something incredibly simple I've not done :oops: but I really wanted to join the 'Bookshelves' forum and filled in my current and recent reading matter, but by my username it still says 0 books read. What have I done wrong?

Too add books to your shelves, you have to enter books manually or click existing books.

To do so, please visit this page:

At least I've edited to eradicate heavy finger syndrome. I thought I had done as you suggest, Gali, and it didn't seem to work. Oh well, my book preferences aren't of much interest. Thanks, anyway.

When I clicked on your Bookshelves, I see the books you added are there. Don't give up on that great feature. :)

@gali I think @debbiebee means the number in the mini-profile on the side of her posts in the forum.

I had previously decided to only update that information once a day, when the rankings are updated. I have updated it so that now whenever one adds a book to their shelves, the count on the forum profile should be instantly updated.

Oh, I see. I think it is better the way you updated it now. :)

Rereading what I wrote in my last post I realize that I used the word update way too many times, but I am glad you understood. :)

Indeed, I do think it is better this way. So thank you very much to debbiebee for the suggestion.

Is there a faster way to add books to my bookshelf other than one at a time? I have hundreds of books on my kindle fire I have read.

Are you able to export them into a text or CSV file?
