Start with the defaults
Every profile gets five shelves the first time it’s used: Fiction, Non-Fiction, Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Biography, and To Read. Rename, recolor, or delete any of them.
Add books to a shelf
From a book’s menu, toggle it onto one or more shelves.
Browse a shelf
Open it from the sidebar to see just the books on it.
How shelves work
- Shelves are per-profile — two profiles on the same install never share a shelf, even if they name one the same thing
- A book can be on any number of shelves at once
- Adding a book to a shelf it’s already on is a no-op, so there’s no need to check before toggling it
- Create as many additional shelves as you want, each with its own name and color
Shelves only organize books you’ve already uploaded — see Library & Reading for adding books, and Metadata & Discovery for finding new ones.
