Bring your library with you
Switching reading apps should not mean starting from an empty shelf. Bookery imports the books you have already logged, so your shelf looks like yours on day one.
Where you can import from
- Goodreads
.csvExport your library as CSV and import it straight away.
- StoryGraph
.csvStoryGraph exports the same CSV shape, so it imports the same way.
- Bookmory
.bookmoryA Bookmory backup file is read directly, no conversion needed.
- Bookery backup
.jsonYour own backup restores everything, including notes, quotes and sessions.
Using something else, like Hardcover, BookWyrm or a spreadsheet of your own? If it can export a Goodreads-style CSV, Bookery reads it.
How it works
- Export from your old appMost apps put this in their settings, under export or backup. You want the CSV file (or the .bookmory file, for Bookmory).
- Open Profile → Import libraryIn Bookery, go to the Profile tab and tap Import library, then pick where the file came from.
- Check the summary, then confirmBookery reads the file and tells you how many books it found before anything is saved. Nothing changes until you confirm.
What comes across
For every book in the file:
- Title and author
- ISBN
- Your rating
- Page count and publication year
- Read, reading, want to read, and abandoned where the export records it
- The date you added it, and the date you finished it
What does not come across yet:
- Notes
- Quotes and highlights
- Individual reading sessions
A CSV export simply does not carry those: it is a list of books, one row each. We would rather say so here than let you find out after the import. A Bookery backup does keep all of it, so once you are here, nothing is lost again.
Ready when you are
Bookery is free. Import your shelf and pick up where you left off.
