Organizing your library
Search, filter, sort, create collections, and everything in each book's menu.
Once your library starts to grow, these tools help you find every book.
Books, comics, magazines and audio
If you have more than one kind of thing, tabs appear at the top: All, Books, Comics, Magazines and Audio (only the ones that have something), with a count for each. Kevra remembers the last one you used.
Search, filter and sort
- Search by title or author: the search bar at the top.
- Filter (the lines icon) opens the Filters sheet, with:
- Status: All, Not started, Reading or Finished.
- Favorites and Unidentified.
- Authors, Genres and Collections, searchable and with multiple choice.
- Sort by: Last read, Title, Author, Progress, Date added or Size, ascending or descending.
- The icon shows how many filters are on. Clear removes them all.
- Grid view / List view changes how the covers are shown.
Collections
Collections are your own folders: a series, "Summer reads", "Classics"…
- Long-press a book → Add to collection → New collection…
- Collections appear at the top as cards. Tap one (or several) to see only their books.
Long-press a collection to Rename it, Reorder books (by dragging, great for reading a series in order), create a New subcollection, Move into… another collection or Delete collection (it doesn't delete the books).
For comics you'll also find Reading orders and Import .cbl.
Each book's menu
Long-press a book to open its menu:
- The title: opens the book's page. The star next to it marks it as a favorite.
- See the series (for comics).
- Mark as mine (Ex libris).
- Add to collection and Add to list.
- Mark as finished, or Read again and Mark as unread if you've finished it.
- Reset progress: back to the beginning; your notes and highlights stay.
- Reading companion.
- Identification: Re-identify or Correct match if it shows up with the wrong title or no cover.
- Save a copy: Send to Kindle, Upload to my R2, Send to my devices or Upload to Kevra Cloud.
- Delete: removes it from this device. It doesn't delete the original if you have it somewhere else.
Several at once
Tap Select (the checklist icon), pick the books and, at the top, mark them as yours, as favorites, add them to a collection or delete them in one go.
Want to read and Statistics
Every library has Want to read and Statistics buttons at the top, with that library's numbers and your whole account's. More in Want to read and Your stats.
