![]() ![]() If tracking the ASIN is important to you, you'd have to manually edit each record individually to add it using an editable field as the ASIN field is not editable. You can use universal import to get a basic listing of your books added once you've populated the LT template but the import data is limited to those columns only. In the words of the fabulous Thomas Sowell, "there are no solutions, there are only trade-offs" and this definitely applies to getting your Kindle library into LT. I stopped cataloging on GR Dec 2018 and manually keep Calibre & LT synced from 2019 thru present. My main reading tracking tool is Calibre which is complete and up to date with dates and tags because for years I used Goodreads Sync which mirrored my GR catalog that I started in 2014 and used through end 2018. With what I know today, I would have told my 2016 self to write a script for the Add Books form to automate adding by ASIN using a spreadsheet list of every ASIN in my Amazon Kindle library as my database source. I still have years worth of reads that have no read dates or tag info here on LT all has to be done one at a time. I came back to LT at the end of 2018 and started tracking books in real time and manually adding titles read in previous years just to get them in My Books. With over a thousand Kindle books to add I again gave up a seemingly insurmountable task and stopped using LT for a couple years. Tested various imports over a few months and eventually gave up trying to import my catalog and just started adding books one by one with Amazon as the source in 2016. I imported my exclusively Kindle/ebook library from GR back in 2015 via a GR export file, found the resulting collection to be useless since I had to manually edit each book record to get the correct data and promptly deleted the whole thing. See the following discussions to understand that this is a long running issue: There are really no good options for getting a Kindle library imported into LT if you want to capture the ASIN and have the Amazon Kindle edition data populate your records. ![]()
