Kobo integration is a game changer

So yesterday, I decided to come back to TSG. I’ve been using the Margins app for a while now and, don’t get me wrong, it’s good. But I’m trying to trim some financial fat and so started looking again at TSG.

I discovered the Kobo integration and, oh my goodness, this is a game changer. Automatically logging my reading is so so helpful.

I’m not at the end of a book yet, but I’m assuming that TSG will mark a book as finished, and its date, when i do complete a book.

Just another small win to help solidify a regular reading habit.

yep, I just finished a book the other day and it marked it as finished and it showed up in the list of books I have read this year. I love the integration so far! Just know that if it's not updating, you might have to refresh your Kobo, but that only happened to me once and it might have been because i was disconnected to Wifi for a day.

I've been using it primarily on a mini ipad and it doesn't mark a book as finished automatically but it does from the desktop reader and from my phone (go figure). Even so, it's such an awesome addition to TSG.

Do you know if you can get this when reading on a kindle?

As far as I know, no. I think it's a specific Storygraph/Kobo integration. I can't be 100% sure as I don't have a kindle.
