How to import your library into Book Tracker

Switching to Book Tracker doesn’t mean you need to start from scratch.

You can import your existing library from apps like Goodreads, Bookpedia, Delicious Library 3, BookBuddy, Reading List, or even a custom CSV file.

This way, you can move your entire collection — including read states, ratings, and formats — into Book Tracker quickly and safely.

What you can import

Book Tracker supports importing:

  • Titles and authors
  • Formats (paperback, hardcover, audiobook, eBook — if included in the source file)
  • Read states and ratings
  • Purchase information (price, purchase date, if available)
  • Tags (from some sources, e.g., Goodreads shelves)

⚠️ Note: Covers are only imported if the file includes an ISBN or a valid image URL. Otherwise, you may need to add them manually (see Why covers may be missing after import).

Supported import sources

Book Tracker has dedicated guides for the most popular apps and formats:

Best practices

  • Always create a backup of your current Book Tracker library before importing.
  • Check the exported file from your old app — some fields (like covers or tags) may not transfer perfectly.
  • After importing, review a few books to make sure details look correct.
  • If something seems off (wrong formats, missing pages), see How to fix common CSV import issues.

✅ With Book Tracker’s import options, you can bring your entire collection from Goodreads, Bookpedia, Delicious Library 3, or CSV files — and keep your reading history intact.
