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.

Link Your Kindle

Post by c2clark »

Hello,

Is there a way to "link" your Kindle library with your Bookshelves? From what it looks like; you have to manually add one book at a time, is this correct? Or is there possibly another way to add a series all at once or even multiple books from one author?

Any insight is much appreciated!

Not at the moment, but it sounds like it could be helpful.
There is a way to import lists from Goodreads.

It would be, it's a bit tedious to go through my Kindle books to add them to my bookshelves... Do you know if there is an application (for phones) in the works too? It'd be nice to be able to access to forums while on the go, in a simpler format than through the web browser.

Thank you for the tip about Goodreads, I will look for how to do that!

Hi, I'm not sure what the Kindle library is exactly. Do you mean books you have purchased for Kindle from Amazon?

One issue with developing a way to do that would be that the software wouldn't know to what shelf to add the books.

To import books, the following data would be needed: (1) the book title including subtitle if applicable, (2) the author name, (3) whether you already read it or want to read it, and (4) the rating if you read it.
