A status says where a book stands with you. There are five: Want to Read, Currently Reading, Paused, Finished and Not Finished. Kiveo moves a book along on its own as you log progress, and you can change it whenever you like.
Change a book’s status
- Open the book.
- Tap In Library.
- Under Reading Status, choose the status.
- Tap Save.
Set a book aside
Not every book is for right now. Paused is for a book you mean to come back to. Not Finished is for one you’ve decided to let go, which is a perfectly good way for a book to end.
Either way, Kiveo offers a place for a short note about why, such as “Too heavy for the beach”. The note is optional: save without one if you’d rather. A Not Finished note can be up to 280 characters. You can add or change it later by tapping the note on the book’s page.
When you’re ready to return to a paused book, open it and tap Pick back up. It goes straight back to Currently Reading.
Good to know
Paused books stay out of Continue Reading on Home, but they can still wait on your Nightstand. You can’t pause a book, or mark it Not Finished, while a reading session for it is running: end the session first. Moving a finished book back to Currently Reading asks whether you’re starting it over, so your first read is kept.
Tip
To keep set-aside books out of view, open the menu at the top of Library and turn on Hide Not Finished & Paused. Turn it off again whenever you want them back.
