How can we help?

Tap + on the Library, search for the title or scan its barcode, and pick paper, ebook or audio. Then tap Read to sit down with your companion and start the timer, or use the pen to jot down your minutes after.

Tap + and choose Open an ebook file you own, or open the file with Rubrica from Files, Mail or your browser. DRM-free EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, FB2 and CBZ files work.

Books bought inside another store's app are usually locked to that app with DRM, and Rubrica can't open those. You can still add the book by title and track your reading.

Yes. It shows on your lock screen, and on iPhone in the Dynamic Island. You can pause or stop it from there.

Export your library as a CSV from the other app, then in Rubrica go to Me › Your books › Bring your history in. Shelves, ratings and dates come across, and covers fill themselves in.

Each companion levels up on its own, from 1 to 50, from the reading you do while it's the one out. Switching never loses anything: each one keeps its level, name, coat and outfit. It grows at levels 10, 25 and 40, and 50 gets a gold frame.

Three small things to do each day, all of them reading, like "read twice today" or "finish a chapter". Tap a finished one to collect its gold leaf (if you forget, it lands by itself the next day), and collecting all three leaves a gift box. Read on five days in a week (Monday to Sunday) and the weekly chest opens too.

Every 15 minutes of a reading session is a small roll for a find: usually a pinch of gold leaf, sometimes something for the Nook or to wear, now and then a whole gift box. They show up on the screen after you finish reading.

Each month has something to earn by reading a set number of hours that month, like a jack-o'-lantern in October. It's free, it's yours to keep, and it's never sold or put in a gift box.

Yes, in Me › App: Morning postcards and Sunday recap each have a switch. Neither is ever sent while you're reading.

It keeps your library, notes and stats in sync across your phones and tablets, and it turns on Friends. Book files stay on your phone. You never need one to read or track.

Each of you gets a private friend code. Swap codes, and you can see each other's shelves and whatever else you choose to share. There's no public feed, no likes and no strangers. From a friend's page you can remove, block or report them.
