My Book Droid

Today's app of the day is My Book Droid.


If you read a lot of books, then no doubt you have experienced the difficulty of remembering whether you have read a book in the past, or where in a series you are up to. if you take it a step further and read multiple books at the same time, then often simply remembering what you have started and where you are up to can be challenging (particularly if you are reading across multiple electronic platforms - i.e. tablets, phones and e-readers that don't all sync). 




(Powered by LaunchBit)

If this sounds familiar, then My Book Droid is a great app for you. In short, it allows you to keep track of what you have read, what you are currently reading, and what you want to read in the future. Once installed, books can be easily added, and if they are located on the goodreads.com library, you will be able to see and read reviews. The app will also recommend books based on your previous reads. 

If you have the dedication to input all the books you have read (or can remember reading), you will be able to kiss goodbye walking into a bookstore and not being able to remember what you have read. A great app.
