Where to find it A book › Share › Share as Card

A share card turns something from your reading into an image: a quote you saved, a book you’re reading or have finished, a shelf of covers, or the books you’ve finished this year. You pick how it looks, and you decide where it goes.

Make a card for a book

  1. Open the book and tap the share button at the top.
  2. Choose Share as Card.
  3. Tap the round color swatch, then choose a theme.
  4. Choose a shape: 4:5 for a post or 9:16 for a story.
  5. Choose a layout from the small buttons beside the shape.
  6. Tap the share button at the top right, then choose where to send the card.

The themes sit in two rows of color circles, the lighter ones on top and the darker ones below. The rainbow circle takes its colors from the book’s own cover. A book card grows a little vine as you read, a leaf for every stretch of pages. Its layouts are the classic card, a large cover across the top, or a sprout, with the cover and vine straight on the background.

For a book you’ve finished, a party popper button turns it into a finished card, with the time you spent reading and how many sessions it took.

Share a quote, a shelf or your year

To share a quote, open it and tap the share button at the top. A quote can sit on a card, straight on the background, or over the book’s cover. Over the cover, the cover sets the colors, so there’s no theme to choose.

To share a shelf, open it and tap its share button. The card shows the covers of up to 12 of its books, in the order the shelf shows them. The pencil button lets you Edit Title or Add Badge.

To share your year, tap Books Read on Home, then tap the share button on Books This Year.The card shows how many books you finished, with their covers.

Good to know

The card is only an image: no link and nothing else from your library goes with it. It looks the same whether Kiveo is in light or dark mode. If you’ve given a book a nickname, the card uses the nickname.
