Read: your reading history

Read is the list of everything you've finished: what you read in Kevra and what you mark as read even if it was on paper, borrowed or in another app. It's free on every plan.

Where it is

• In Library, at the top, the check-mark button next to Want to read.
• In Ex libris, in the same bar.
• On your profile, by tapping books in 2026 (it opens already filtered by that year).

What you see

Your books grouped by the year you finished them, with the date, your stars and whether you wrote a review. If you've read a book twice, it shows up twice: each read counts.

At the top you have:

• Search your read books: by title, author or series.
• Filters: Year, Author, Series, Genre and Comics. They combine.
• Sort (the icon in the bar): recently finished, oldest first, highest rated, author or title.

Add a book you read elsewhere

Tap I've already read it, search for the book and choose when you finished it. It counts in your history and your stats even without the file. If you're coming from Goodreads, you can bring your whole history.

Mark as read from any library

Any identified book can be marked as read without opening it: in your Library, in Ex libris or in your clouds, long-press the book (or open its page) and tap Mark as read. With Select you can mark several at once.

When you mark it, Kevra asks when you finished it: Today, Pick a date… or I don't remember. If you mark several, your choice applies to all of them. A book without a date counts as read, but stays out of anything that goes by date (this year's books, your timeline, the activity your friends see). To change it later, tap the ✓ Read pill on the book's page: you can set another date, leave it undated or mark it as unread.

Read belongs to the work, not the file: it shows the ✓ READ band on the cover in all your libraries and on all your devices. If you were halfway through, it's marked as finished. Mark as unread undoes the latest read and puts you back where you were; if you had read it before, those reads stay in your history with their dates.

Choose how the mark looks in Settings → Appearance → Read mark: Simple (a small check), Band (the band at the bottom, the default) or Corner (a ribbon in the corner and the cover dimmed). It applies to all your libraries and to Home.

Change something about a book

Tap ⋯ on the book:

• Change the date you finished it.
• Rate or review.
• Remove from read, if you marked it by mistake.

Take it with you

The share button in the bar creates a CSV with Goodreads' columns (title, author, ISBN, your rating and the date). You can import it into Goodreads or open it in a spreadsheet.

Note: who sees your reading on your profile depends on your privacy. You always see your whole Read list.
