ebooks often don’t have page numbers. Would it be possible to have a ‘Percentage Read’ as an alternative for Pages Read for ebooks? Very much a ‘nice to have’ - I can see how it might be difficult to work out how to display that and page numbers!
The way books with the ‘dropped’ status are displayed is a bit confusing. On the mobile version, it just says ‘Read: Yes, on Mar 03, 2026’, while on the web version is says ‘Read: Yes, started on Mar 02, 2026, dropped Mar 03, 2026…’
Firstly, can we make it consistent across web and mobile?
Also, should ‘dropped’ be marked as ‘Read: Yes’, as it isn’t really read? I admit I’ve gone backwards and forwards on whether to mark as Read on my desktop system: I currently have it as Read: No and a tag of ‘Skipped’, but I used to have it as ‘Read: Yes’. Probably a ‘No size fits all’ thing!
I did notice an additional slight confusion: if a book is marked as Read: Yes on the mobile app, it marks the book as ‘Read’ on the desktop app. But if it’s marked as Read: Yes, but also dropped on the mobile app, it doesn’t update to ‘Read’ on the desktop app (in fact, it doesn’t pick it up as a change at all when you sync the desktop app).
Anyway, these are both minor niggles. Overall it’s working really well.
Hm, not sure, I think it could be a cool thing to have, together with more “ebook” features (like no values for ebooks.. stuff like that). But I think it would be part of an “going all the way for eBooks” feature!
This is a bug which has been fixed today (we’re testing it and the fix will be included in the next update of CLZ Books Mobile.
This is expected behaviour I’m afraid. The multiple read statuses is a Web and Mobile feature only.
Syncing with Desktop, you should definitely only have one read event, or no read events, per book. Otherwise the Desktop won’t understand it (it’s not part of the sync code on desktop, and it can’t even be added on desktop either). Maybe it is time to switch to Web completely for your desktop needs?
