    I’m not crazy into stats (I don’t track books when I re-read them, though goodreads supports that), but audible’s “you read 30k minutes last year” was definitely kind of cool. (The fact that it took me a full 30 minutes to add the new books I’ve read across 5 apps since last time I bothered putting stuff on goodreads? Not so much.)

    My problem is I have a whole stack of different apps to fill out my listening, so Audible’s numbers are 90% the 1 author I actually bought from them outright, then there’s two different library apps, and a subscription to Scribd Everand for a bunch of my reading, plus actual files in a different app, so none of it really means anything, and not everyone provides it so I can’t even compare.

    It’s too bad the iOS app is stuck behind test flight, but it looks like it supports ebooks, too, so I think I might try it on my Android readers and see how it manages for those. I desperately need a better system for those than “just go find the file and use boox drop when I feel like it”.
