Your Kobo and StoryGraph are now officially on speaking terms.

Kobo readers have one less reading chore to worry about. A month after teasing StoryGraph support, Rakuten Kobo has finally released this feature to its users. That means your Kobo reading progress can now make its way over to StoryGraph without you lifting a finger.

The company first detailed the feature in a press release back in May. Now that it is live, your Kobo eReaders and apps can sync directly with your StoryGraph account. Any book you open will pop up on your StoryGraph "Currently Reading" shelf, your progress percentages will stay in step across both platforms, and finishing a book on your Kobo will automatically mark it as "Read" on StoryGraph.
