If you use KOReader, you may expect your Fable reading progress to update when you close an ebook. Fable lets readers track books and import Goodreads data, but its help pages do not describe a native KOReader connection.

There is a community option: as of September 26, 2026, ShelfSync lists progress and note syncing with Fable through its login/API. It is a separate KOReader plugin, not a Fable-built feature; check its current setup instructions before relying on it.

Using Fable’s documented features alone, you would update a book manually. To sync from KOReader, you need a separate community plugin such as ShelfSync rather than a built-in Fable setting.

MyBibliotheca gives KOReader users another option: connect the reader to a library that can keep ebook progress and the rest of your reading history together.

Goodreads import is not KOReader sync

Fable’s support pages explain how to import Goodreads lists, reviews, and CSV data. That can help you bring some existing information into Fable. It is a different workflow from syncing a live reading position from KOReader.

A one-time import moves information that already exists. Progress sync keeps updating as you read. If KOReader is where you read, it helps to choose a tracker that can receive information from KOReader directly.

Keep your reading record connected to your device

With MyBibliotheca, you can connect KOReader progress to the matching book in your library. A separate plugin can send KOReader highlights and notes, so your saved passages do not have to stay isolated in an ebook file.

MyBibliotheca is private by default and does not depend on a social feed to be useful. You can keep using Fable for its book clubs and community if you enjoy them, while letting MyBibliotheca maintain your detailed personal reading record.

You can also import an existing Goodreads or StoryGraph library instead of starting from an empty shelf.
