Sometimes you just want to tell someone about a book. A book link is the quickest way: one tap, and it’s in a message to a friend.
Send a link
- Open the book and tap the share button at the top.
- Choose Share Link.
- Choose who to send it to, or where to put it.
What your friend sees
The link comes with a short note, “Check out” and the book’s title. If your friend has Kiveo, the link opens the book in the app. If the book is already in their library, they see their own copy.
If they don’t have Kiveo, the link opens a simple web page for the book: its cover, title and author, the page count and publisher, and a short description. From there they can open it in Kiveo or get the app.
Good to know
A link points to the book by its ISBN, so Share Link only appears for books that have one. A custom book without an ISBN can still be shared as a card. The link carries the book, not your reading: nothing about your progress, quotes or notes goes with it.
Tip
If you’ve given the book a nickname, the note uses the nickname. The link itself still points to the book.
