Track your reading progress across RoyalRoad, Kindle Unlimited and more BookShelf – What's New - Release Notes 04.04.2026 Bugfixes, Bugfixes, and code cleanup 🔍 Smarter Search The search bar now finds books by title, author name, description, notes, and genre tags — not just the title. ⚠️ Source Error Indicator If RoyalRoad can't be reached when checking for updates, the book's detail page will now show a clear warning with the date the problem first appeared — so you always know which sources need attention. 📊 Check All: Progress Bar & Rate Limiting The "Check all" button now shows a floating progress bar with the current book name and count (e.g. "Checking 4 / 17"). Updates are spaced 3 seconds apart to avoid overloading RoyalRoad. You can cancel the process at any time with the ✕ button. 🚫 Duplicate Detection Adding a book that's already in your shelf is now caught automatically. If the URL matches an existing entry, you'll see a warning and a direct link to the existing book. If only the title matches, you'll be asked to confirm before saving. 📥 Smarter Import: Merge or Replace When importing a backup file, you can now choose: Merge – only adds books that aren't already in your shelf, leaving everything else untouched Replace – overwrites all data (same as before) A preview dialog shows you exactly how many books will be added or skipped before anything is written. 🖼️ Cover Retry Fix If a cover image couldn't be downloaded (e.g. due to a network error), the extension will now wait 24 hours before trying again instead of retrying on every startup. 🕐 Better "Last Checked" Display Update timestamps on the book detail page now show as relative times ("2 hours ago", "3 days ago") instead of raw dates. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- BookShelf – Your Personal Web Novel Reading Tracker Stop losing track of your reading progress.
