In the menu on the left, under „Tools”, select „Bookdrop”. Check the title and the author of each book, and choose your library in „Library”. Select the books, or select „Select All”. Select „Finalize” and confirm. The books move into your library. Read in the browser You can read an e-book on the computer or on the phone, with no other program. In the menu on the left, select „All Books”, and choose a book. Select „Read”. When you close it, Grimmory remembers where you are, and next time you go on from there. Shelves for the family A shelf is your own selection, for example the children's books or what to read next. At the bottom of the menu on the left, select „Create”, and choose „Create New Shelf”. Type the shelf's name in „Shelf Name”. If the rest of the family should see it too, tick „Make this shelf public (read-only for others)”, then select „Create Shelf”. In a book's menu, choose „Assign Shelf”, tick the shelf, and select „Save Changes”. Sync with KOReader If you read with KOReader, your progress moves together with Grimmory. Open the „Devices” tab of the „Settings” page. Switch on „Enable KOReader Sync”. Enter a „KOReader Username” and a „KOReader Password”, and select „Save”. In KOReader, in the progress sync settings, enter the „KOReader API Path” address, this name and this password. Frequently asked questions Can I switch it to Hungarian? Yes: on the „View” tab of the „Settings” page, in „Language”. The translation is not complete, so some labels stay in English. What is the difference between a shelf and „Magic Shelves”? You put the books on a shelf yourself. A magic shelf collects them by itself, by rules, for example every book by one author. Which files can I upload? E-books (EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, FB2), comics (CBZ, CBR, CB7) and audiobooks (M4B, M4A, MP3, OPUS). Why does a book I copied into the folder not show up? A book in the folder to read in does not go in by itself: you first finalize it on the „Bookdrop” page. If it is not there either, select „Rescan” on that page. Where are my books? On your drive, in the „E-book library (Grimmory)” folder. What goes into the backup is shown on the dashboard, on the app's „Data and backup” tab. Documentation Official documentation ↗
