Excerpta: Reading Journal

Read your books in Excerpta. Add an EPUB to any book and open it in the new reader, with contents, search, six themes, and your own font, margins and spacing. Highlight a passage to keep it as a quote or add a note, and the reader holds your place and logs your reading as you go. Ready for iPhone Duo. Excerpta now lays itself out for both displays, open or closed. More from Hardcover. With Hardcover connected, Book Details shows a book's Moods and Similar Books, and Discovery has a new Vibes source. Filter a book's timeline by chapter. Tidy up faster. Merge two authors into one, change Status, Format or Ownership for a whole selection from the Metadata menu, and see any cover full size with View Cover. Characters can group by series, and shelves show how many books they hold. KOReader can now match books by Filename as well as Binary, to suit how your KOReader is set up. Also: names with accents sort where you'd expect, a series with a colon in its name no longer pulls in another series, and deleting or adding books is quicker.

Excerpta is a book tracker that doubles as a reading journal. Every book gets its own timeline: the lines that stopped you, the notes you wrote, the pages you read each day, and how it all felt. Point your camera at a page to keep a quote. It keeps the rest too: your shelves, where you left off, and how your year in reading is going. KEEP THE WORDS – Capture quotes with the camera, from photos (a few pages at once), or by typing. The text is read right on your phone. – Tap a paragraph to keep it whole, or drag the highlighter across just the words you want. – Pick one of six highlight colors, add a note, and mark the page or chapter. – Tag the character who said it and add how it made you feel. Your moods can go to Apple Health too. – Quotes that don't belong to any book land in your Commonplace book. READ YOUR EPUBS Add an EPUB to any book and read it right here, with search, six themes, and your own font and margins. Highlight a passage to keep it as a quote, and the reader logs your reading for you. HOWEVER YOU READ Print, e-book, or audiobook. Owned, borrowed, or gifted. They all share the same shelves. – Add books by searching, scanning the barcode, or typing them in yourself. – Browse by book, author, character, or series. Series fill themselves in, or build your own. – Make as many shelves as you like. A book can sit on several. – Rate in half or quarter stars, write a review, and start a reread with a fresh timeline. – Add a new release as Upcoming and get a note the day it's out. KNOW WHERE YOU LEFT OFF – Start the reading timer, or set your page, your percent, or the time left in an audiobook. – Give a book a finish date, or your whole year a goal. – The Calendar shows each day you read as a cover, ringed by your mood, with your streak up top. SEE HOW THE YEAR IS GOING Stats shows what your reading actually looked like: Books Read, Pages Read, Days Read, Genres, Ratings, Mood, Top Authors, and Time to Finish. Reading Nooks gathers the photos you took and maps the places you read. Pick the cards, then look at a month, a year, or all time. FIND THE NEXT ONE Discovery brings in the NYT Bestsellers lists. Connect Hardcover to add what's trending, the most anticipated books, Vibes, and lists and prompts from other readers, plus each book's moods and similar books.
