Does StoryGraph Sync With KOReader on Kobo?

StoryGraph now offers a Kobo integration, but that is separate from a direct KOReader connection. Its official feature is specifically described as Kobo x StoryGraph, while a separate KOReader integration remains a distinct feature request. As of September 26, 2026, the community plugin ShelfSync lists KOReader progress and note syncing to StoryGraph; its README says the connection uses an unofficial session-cookie API that may break when StoryGraph changes its site.

If you read on a Kobo with KOReader installed, do not assume KOReader progress will appear in StoryGraph through the Kobo integration. The two reading environments can handle reading data differently.

For a documented KOReader-to-library workflow, MyBibliotheca connects KOReader progress with your personal book history.

Kobo sync and KOReader sync are different

A device integration usually depends on the reading app or service that reports activity. StoryGraph’s Kobo connection is for activity supported by Kobo’s integration. KOReader has its own Progress Sync feature, which shares positions across KOReader devices.

Those paths are not interchangeable. If you read in Kobo’s built-in reader, use StoryGraph’s current Kobo setup instructions. If you read the same device through KOReader, check whether the activity is actually being sent before relying on StoryGraph to record it.

Keep KOReader progress attached to your library

MyBibliotheca can receive KOReader progress and link it to the matching book in your library. If you have several editions or the ebook metadata is unclear, you can confirm the match so your progress lands on the right book.

A separate KOReader plugin can send highlights and notes. That gives your reading history both the “where did I stop?” information and the passages you chose to keep.

You can import your existing StoryGraph library into MyBibliotheca, so switching your tracker does not mean rebuilding your shelves from scratch.

If KOReader is your reading app, connect it to a tracker built to receive its data. Create your MyBibliotheca library.
