Sync reading progress between devices logged into the same account

[ickam]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I find it frustrating that two devices, logged into the same user account within calibre web do not sync progress. Describe the solution you'd like When I log into the app with the very same credentials I would hope the progress in reading books would be synced. This feature would have made this the best reader app for a macos/ios combo.

Describe alternatives you've considered I own a macbook and an iphone, and not even the Books app built into their system seems to sync progress for books that weren't purchased within the app.

Additional context The individual devices seem to remember the last read position on that particular device so I would hope it shouldn't be too difficult to save it in some sort of database / file that could be queried by other devices.

I would love this feature to be added! When a user is logged in, the current pages should be saved to the server instead of remaining a local device cookie. For a reference, see this highlighted feature of e-alfred's epubreader for Nextcloud:

Reader remembers the last-visited page in a book and returns to that page when the book is re-opened. As all settings are stored on the server these features are device-independent, ie. you can start reading on a mobile device, continue on a PC to finish the book on a tablet.

@jorbig does one need to enable any specific setting in Nexcloud to have that feature? I installed a nexcloud snap package on my server specifically for that feature and I can't seem to get it to sync

[jorbig]

I don't know, I haven't tried Nextcloud myself.

I would also really like this feature.

Been using CalibreWeb for qutie a while now, and this is a sorely missed feature! I almost switched to Kavita because of it😅. Kavita supports progress sync across devices, but it doesnt allow uploading books through the webUI. You have to do it through FTP 😫.

This functionality would be great! I think a killer feature that calibre-web could offer over other solutions is open source w/ great library management but also a fully featured, self-contained e-reader. I'd be interested in working on this if I can figure out how.

Related: #863 + #867

If this did happen, it would be great if progress would also sync to non-Calibre clients. I use Foliate on Linux for its Wiktionary integration, for instance, and link it with my calibre-web instance. Would sync of progress between Calibre and Foliate be theoretically possible?

[caminante-blanco]

This is an essential feature that is necessary to build feature parity between calibre and drm-options like Amazon. When/if this is added, calibre-web will be practically perfect

[jorbig]

Any updates on if and when this feature will be implemented?

[hobbesjaap]

I just want to add my voice to support for this feature. I don't know how it could be done (don't have the technical knowledge). But this would be a great, great feature.

[jworthington83]

Mega Dittos!

[kabaga]

It would be great is this feature gets added to calibre-web.

[m4hi2]

I recently hosted calibre-web and was shocked that it didn't track progress across devices 😞 Now looking for other solutions that have this feature.

[zhpjy]

Same problem, and I find this project https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita.

[emes81]

Looks like a nice project, but seems very manga-centric. I can't currently see any way to browse by author, for instance: only brose by series. I'd still hope to see reading-progress sync on a more traditional ebook-centric platform like calibre

Another user here who is facing the same problem.

[KevinT3Hu]

Any progress on this? I'd very much like to give my effort but sadly I don't really write python well

[Parbler]

I am happy to pay for this feature and also a workable android app...

[TheGthr]

Hi, I am also very interested in this feature. Would the PR #2926 cover it?

[dydyamotya]

I think it covers it partially (for epub format only). Though it is not merged till now, sadly.

[JoshuamURD]

I'd like this feature as well. Especially one which worked with the common reading apps like Moon Reader and Koreader. Kavita does this but their lack of web UI uploads is what stops me moving

Try bookfusion. You will be impressed!

Bookfusion isn't open source—what a strange recommendation.

I would like this great feature implemented

Same! Would love this! 😍
