Track Reading Progress for Print, Ebooks, and Audiobooks

2 minutes read

A good reading log needs to answer two questions without mixing them up: where are you in the book, and what did you read during this session? MyBibliotheca keeps a reading position separate from session totals so you can save the information you have.

Save your place, a session, or both

For a print book or ebook, enter a current page or percentage to remember your position. Add pages read to record the amount from one sitting. For an audiobook, select the audiobook format and use duration or percentage to track your place; add minutes listened when you want the session total. A position only entry can save your place without inventing pages or minutes.

Choose today or an earlier date when logging a session later. Notes are optional. Reading Timeline shows the dated history, and daily page and minute totals use the actual session metrics recorded.

Use the right edition details

Different editions can have different page counts, and audiobooks have their own duration. Set the format and the physical page count or audio duration for the copy you are reading. If publisher extras come after the readable text, you can set the last readable page separately. Future percentages then use that end point without changing the saved history.

Changing from ebook to audiobook also does not recalculate past sessions: pages remain page sessions, and listening time remains listening time. That keeps your record understandable if you switch formats partway through a book.

Keep the record flexible

You can log from the Dashboard or the book page. Use a position when you want to pick up where you left off, a session total when you want a daily reading summary, or both when that is useful.

Why Audiobook Readers Need a Better Goodreads Alternative

Why Audiobook Readers Need a Better Goodreads Alternative

2 minutes read

Audiobooks are books, but listening does not always fit neatly into a tracker built around a title and a finish date. You may listen for twenty minutes during a walk, switch between print and audio, or pause a book for weeks. MyBibliotheca is a Goodreads alternative for audiobook readers who want to record listening activity as it happens. Create your free account.

Record listening, not just completion

A listening log can capture the small sessions that make up a book: minutes listened, progress, and the dates you returned to it. Keeping sessions with the title makes your reading history more complete and helps you remember where a book fits into your year. MyBibliotheca supports tracking reading progress across formats, so your audio titles can sit beside print and ebook books in the same library.

If you also read ebooks on KOReader, you can connect compatible progress updates to MyBibliotheca. The KOReader sync guide describes setup. For general session entry, see how to log reading progress.

Keep a mixed-format library

Many readers move between formats depending on time and place. A unified book record helps you keep the title, notes, and reading activity connected even when you read some chapters on paper and listen to others. It also gives you one history to look back on instead of separate lists for every format.

Find an audiobook tracker that fits your routine

A useful audiobook tracker makes it easy to log a session and then get back to listening. Start a free MyBibliotheca library and track your next listening session alongside the rest of your reading life.
