Migrate from another app

If you're coming from another app, Settings → Account → Migrate from another app lists the apps Kevra can bring your stuff over from. Today that's Moon+ Reader and Goodreads; we'll keep adding more.

Moon+ Reader: import a backup

Bring everything from Moon+ into Kevra: your books, where you are in each, the time you read each day and all your highlights, notes and bookmarks.

1. Go to Settings → Account → Migrate from another app → Moon+ Reader.
2. Choose how:
   • Import the latest backup from my Dropbox, if Moon+ saves its backups to Dropbox (in Moon+: Options → Backup → Backup to Dropbox). You need that Dropbox connected in Kevra.
   • Upload a backup file (.mrpro): in Moon+, Options → Backup → Backup, and share the .mrpro file with this phone.
3. Kevra imports it in the background and tells you how many books, reading days and highlights it brought over.

How it's done:

• Books are recognized by their file (if you have it in one of your libraries), by title and author or, if there's only a file name, by guessing from it. Anything not recognized is counted separately; nothing is made up.
• What you already have in Kevra isn't overwritten.
• Highlights appear in each book the first time you open it in Kevra: that's when they're put in place.

Moon+ Reader: using both apps

If you want to keep using Moon+ on another device, Kevra can pick up what you do there through Dropbox:

1. In Moon+: Options → Sync → turn on Dropbox.
2. In Kevra, connect that same Dropbox.
3. Go to Settings → Other readers and turn on Sync with Moon+ (via Dropbox).

When you open a book in Kevra, we bring in its highlights, notes and bookmarks from Moon+ and, if you were somewhere else there, offer to take you there ("In Moon+ Reader you're at …%").

Note: it works with EPUBs downloaded in Kevra that have the same file name as in Moon+.

What about Kindle?

Your Kindle history can't be brought over: Amazon doesn't offer any permitted way to do it. To send books to your Kindle, see Kindle.
