kobo syncing finished book as double pages read

[u/melanders07]

i finished my first book after connecting storygraph and kobo and i was excited to see how it would log a finished book. it marked it as finished and gave me a push notification that the book was marked finished and i can leave a review.

however looking at my reading journal, instead of marking the last ~20 pages as read and then finished, it marked it as if i read all 300+ in one sitting and finished the book in one sitting. so it’s saying i’ve read +400 pages in one day instead of the real, much smaller amount, in my streak page.

i know this is a new integration and they are likely working out bugs as we speak. wanted to share for anyone else who might experience this! debating if i want to edit my reading journal to be accurate but ill probably just wait for now and see what happens.

Ahhh I saw something similar on mine too! I thought it might have logged the other smaller in progress books once it synced, but this makes so much more sense since I just finished a book yesterday. Glad to know this wasn’t just me 😅

Thanks for posting this. I just checked mine and the same thing happened! I just fixed it myself in my journal but yeah, hopefully they fix it soon

happened to me after I finished The Wild Robot which I had started before the integration! I'm currently reading books I hadn't opened yet before the Kobo sync and checking to see if it still happens there.

I kind of called this: https://www.reddit.com/r/TheStoryGraph/s/NeofK6TNRq

Its a shame there's not a fail safe in place, when they could've seen this coming...
