I switched to web and wanted to change all the ‘“unrecognized reader’“ to the ‘“me’“ reader. Is there a way without individually changing every entry, bc the ‘“read by’“ field is not an option when I want to bulk change more than one entry. And the ‘“unrecognized reader’“ aka the blank field is not an option to merge in the read by list, bc it’s not an entry, but it messes with the stats.

Reader can’t be bulk changed, because books can have more than one read event, so the Edit Multiple screen is not fit for this.
This is why for existing users on Web, when the new version with Read History was released, we set all books that were finished to reader: “me” - which can be changed in Manage Pick Lists.
However, if you came from the old Windows version, this does not happen (if you have “Read it: yes” on Windows, and you sync “up”, the reader is not set to “me” - so you’d end up with no reader for books that you’ve read.
Would you like for me to set ALL your Read books (with Reading Status: Finished) to your name?
If you could change them, that would be great. Thanks for the fast reply, as always.
We changed all your read events that were marked as “Finished” in the Marina collection to “Read by:” Marina.
Do you need the same to be done in the collection called “KuA” ? Same reader name?
Thank you, and yes to changing them in the KuA collection.
Alright, that’s done too! Should be good now!
