Fable Book Tracking App: Is it better than Goodreads?

Today we're going to talk about an up and coming book tracking app, Fable. I compare it to Goodreads, and see if it stands against one of the most popular digital book tracking websites/apps currently out.

I've been on Fable for a month or so. Really enjoying it. Feels like a space just for readers.

[@heyyitsmelina]

Yes! My thoughts exactly. The person who made it is for sure a person who originally used goodreads, and thought of all the ways to make it better!

[@kerncarter]

@heyyitsmelina haha exactly!

I haven't heard about Fable, but it does seem like it has a lot of great features. I mainly use Goodreads on my laptop, so it would be nice if all the features of Fable were eventually available on the website. I'll have to check out the app though!

[@heyyitsmelina]

I do think that is the major thing it needs to add! I love the Goodreads website, so if fable implemented it, i might switch completely. Thanks so much for watching ! 🫶🏼

The only thing that’s keeping me from moving to fable is that it doesn’t count re-reads to your reading goal. There are a handful of books that I’ve read twice this year and it’ll only count them once. So I’m gonna keep using Goodreads for now but I might switch at the new year

[@heyyitsmelina]

I didn't realize they don't count towards your reading goal! I started using Fable last month, and haven't done any rereads this year. But it makes sense that you would be frustrated, because it still counts as an extra book read! I'm still currently using both simultaneously, but in the 3 months I've been using it, I think I still like Fable more! Hopefully they fix that and add multiple reads as an option in the future. Thanks for watching! xx

Hi Melina I was hoping you could help me. I’m having some difficulty. Could you please let me know how I can download Fable to my Kindle?
Looking forward to hearing back from you 👍🏻🥰

[@heyyitsmelina]

@@KimsterTube as of now, there’s no way to download the books to Kindle from Fable, but I’m pretty sure they’re working on a way to both upload your epubs to Fable and allow their epubs to other reading tablets. Sorry!

[@KimsterTube]

@@heyyitsmelina thank you so much for your quick response. I really appreciate it. And I had a feeling that it could not be done because I tried everything I could think of and couldn’t get it to work. Thanks again and I hope you have a wonderful week.👍🏻🥰

[@heyyitsmelina]

@@KimsterTube you’re welcome! Hopefully they make the changes so it can be compatible somehow

An someone tell me how to crest my own reading list icon in Fable? Like the TBR box or Didn’t finish box?
Is the a Fable instruction manual on line somewhere?

[@heyyitsmelina]

@@kimberlybuckmister9108 so when you create a fable account it automatically creates 4 folders! A “want to read”, a “currently reading, a “did not finish”, and a “finished” section. You can access this in the Library tab. If you want to add other categories you scroll down and click “create a new list”. I personally added an “all time favorites” category and “put on pause” category! I hope this helps:)
