Your position on all your devices

With a Kevra account, every page you turn is saved and travels to your other devices. Start on your phone on the bus, carry on on your tablet at home, and each one opens the book where you left off.

How it works

• Your position is sent every time you turn a page. Offline, it's saved on the device and sent when the connection comes back.
• The most recent one wins, and your percentage never goes backwards because another device synced late.
• If another device was further ahead when you open the book, Kevra takes you there and tells you (“You were further ahead on another device…”), with Go back in case you didn't want to jump.
• If you were already reading here, it asks instead of jumping: Another device is at X%, with Continue.
• Changing the font, theme or reading mode does not move you. Those settings belong to each device and don't sync.

To force a sync, open the reader menu and tap Sync: you'll see your percentage and when the last sync happened.

Note: the free plan syncs up to 2 devices. With Plus or Pro, as many as you like. If you go over the limit, the Library shows a warning: “This device isn't syncing”.

Your highlights, notes and bookmarks also sync, as does your place in an audiobook (even between a book and its audiobook, see Audiobooks).

Do you also read on Kobo, KOReader or Xteink? See Kobo, KOReader and Xteink.

“You got to X%”

If a book opens further back than the furthest point you've reached, Kevra lets you know with You got to X% and a Go button to jump back there.

Mark a book as finished

When you reach the last page, the book is set to 100% and becomes Finished on its own.

But many books end with acknowledgements, notes or appendices you won't read. So it doesn't stay at 93% forever:

• From 90% onwards, next to Continue reading on Home and on the book page you'll see Mark as finished (✓✓ icon).
• Or long-press the book and choose Mark as finished.

Kevra asks Mark it as finished? and saves it at 100%. A finished book doesn't go backwards even if you open it again.

Start a book over

Long-press the book in your library:

• Read again (on finished books): starts a new read and the previous one still counts in your stats, with its date.
• Reset progress (on unfinished books): takes you back to the beginning. Your notes, highlights and reading time are kept. Needs a connection.
• Mark as unread: removes the finished status.
