Book lists

Lists are for recommending: "the 10 that changed me", "where to start with Sanderson". They work by book, not by file, so you can include books you don't own. They're free on every plan.

Note: lists aren't the same as the collections in your library. Collections organise your files and are just for you; lists are for sharing books with others.

Creating a list

1. Go to Community → the Lists tab.
2. Tap New list.
3. Give it a Name and, if you like, a Description (optional).
4. Choose Who can see it: Everyone, Friends or Only me.
5. Turn on Ranked list if you want the books numbered (for rankings or a series' reading order).
6. Tap Create list.

Adding books

On any book's page, tap To a list and choose the list (or create a new one right there). You can also do it from a book's menu in your library (long-press it) → Add to list, and from Discover.

In a ranked list, drag books to reorder them. To remove one, use the remove button on its row.

Sharing a list

In your list, tap Copy link. Anyone who opens it sees the list in their browser, without the app or an account, and when you paste the link in WhatsApp it shows up with its cover.

An Only me list can't be seen by anyone else, not even people who followed it before.

Following other people's lists

On someone else's list, tap Follow. Lists you follow appear under Lists I follow in the Lists tab, and their author gets a notification.

At the bottom of the tab you'll find Community lists: public lists with at least three books.

Editing or deleting

In your list, tap Edit list to change its name, description, who can see it or whether it's ranked. Deleting a list doesn't delete the books: only the list goes.

The "Maybe" list

If you tap Maybe in Play discover, the book is saved to a private list called "Maybe" so you can think it over. See Discover books.
