Amy Skorheim for Engadget Kobo has announced plans to integrate its ereaders and reading apps with the social reading platform Story Graph in June. Story Graph is an independent alternative to Goodreads that exists outside of Amazon's ecosystem and offers users more control over their recommendations.
"For a lot of us, the best part of reading is the community. It's a part of how we show up in the world as readers every day," Rakuten Kobo CEO Michael Tamblyn said in a statement. "That's why I'm so excited about our integration with StoryGraph. We wanted to strip away the friction between finishing a chapter and tracking and sharing your progress. Now, Kobo readers can do exactly that, seamlessly."
