Immersive Reading (Multiple Formats With Overlap)
B
brittishliterature

I’ve been getting into immersive reading more and listening to the audiobook while following along with the physical/digital text. However, when it comes to tracking my progress I usually have to choose either the print or the audio format, and I don’t want it categorized as a re-read or as two books added to my monthly/yearly total.

It would be cool to be able to mark that I’m reading the print and audio formats for the same book in such a way that I can have them both added to my pages read/minutes listened and formats stats - but only count it as one book towards my goal.

Just adding my vote for bumping this up the pipeline (and following). I do almost exclusively immersive so every month I have to do my own calculations since my pages/hours are never correct.

noladawnreads I would also absolutely love if this was moved up on the timeline.

Nadia is there an updated timeline for when immersion reading will be available on the app?

ebbookworm There isn't! While I see a future where we will support this, it's not something that'll be a priority soon. When there is an update you'll get automatically notified through this post and the other related one.

Nadia for right now, I mark both editions I’m reading as 100% when I’m finished to count all pages/minutes, and then I mark one as did not finish. When the immersion reading feature is available, can we have something that makes it easier to move some of these did not finish books over to the Immersion feature? For example, my 2022 reading wrap-up said that I had 26 books marked as did not finish when they really were immersion books.

ebbookworm We can't commit to having a way to change historic data for something that'll be a completely new feature and where we have no idea how it'll be implemented, but we always try to do what we can to make the transition easier for people.

I agree! I would love this feature as well. Just a note: I often read a same simultaneously in paperback and digital. So allowing that combination in addition to the audio-text pairings would be lovely.

Yeah this would be amazing especially since the audiobook hours tracking has been improved it would be great to accurately track it!

I've played around with the book I'm currently reading via audio/digital. I'm able to mark both formats as Currently Reading and track progress, but when I finish the book there is no way to only mark one book as Read without deleting my progress on the other book. If I choose the option to Remove Book, it deletes all progress from my stats. Technically, I could set one book to DNF to keep the progress, but then it gets removed from my shelves, which is not ideal either.
