MyRead
How do I add my book collection to MyRead quickly?
You can scan the barcodes on your books using your phone's camera, and MyRead will log them instantly. This makes building your digital library feel like magic, especially if you have a large collection.
Can I create custom shelves to organize my books?
Yes, MyRead lets you create your own shelves with custom names, like 'Airplane Books' or 'Dad's Recommendations'. This helps you sort your reading list in ways that make sense for your life.
Why is it hard to add a book that doesn't have a barcode?
For older paperbacks or books without barcodes, you have to search by title and then scroll through a long list to find the correct edition, which can be tedious. We hope a future update will make manual additions smoother.
Can MyRead help me remember if I've already read or abandoned a book?
Yes, you can quickly search a book's title in the app to check if it's on your 'Abandoned' shelf or already logged. This saved one user from checking out a book they'd already given up on two years ago.
How does MyRead compare to other book tracking apps like Goodreads?
MyRead focuses on simplicity and speed, especially with barcode scanning, while Goodreads has a larger community and more social features. MyRead's reading streak notifications and custom shelves feel more personal and less cluttered.
