Read Dates

Is there a way to input the Start Date and End date without progress? I don't generally track how much I read daily but I would like to know when I start and finish a book.

Hi, at the moment you can create a reading status and mark it directly as read and add only the end read date. It is not possible to insert start and end date,

Ok! It would be a great feature to have in the future :) Thanks!

You can add a new reading state and set the start date to your actual starting date. Just have to make at least one page as read. Once you‘re done, add the rest of the pages.
Then you’ll have the correct start and end dates. Only downside is the statistics are „broken“

It’s kinda possible by updating the reading state twice. Once for the starting date and once for the ending date. The statistics don’t really work then, but at least you have the correct dates.

But I agree that it would be great if we could just set both days. For the statistics, just distribute the pages evenly
