I was wrestling with this exact issue last month, trying to find a way to keep tabs on my reading without relying on Wi-Fi during my commute. The short version is it's possible, but it depends entirely on which service you're using and how much you're willing to tinker. Most major apps like Goodreads or Libby have some form of sync that downloads your shelf data to your phone, but pulling that raw data into a spreadsheet for personal tracking is a different beast.

For Goodreads, you can actually request your entire library data from their website under account settings. They'll email you a .csv file, which you can open in Excel or Google Sheets. It's a bit clunky, honestly, and doesn't update automatically—you have to re-download it every so often. Some third-party tools claim to connect to the Goodreads API to automate this, but they always seem to break after a while. I ended up just manually logging my page counts in a notes app, which was less frustrating in the long run.

You definitely can, but the 'export' part is often misleading. It's usually a manual backup, not a live feed. I use an app called 'Reading List' on iOS that lets me import my Goodreads data through that .csv file I mentioned. It's okay for seeing what I've marked as 'to-read,' but tracking progress? Not so much.

The real trick is finding an app that does both—connects to your online shelves and stores that data locally on your device for offline viewing. StoryGraph does a decent job of this; once your shelves are loaded in the app, you can view them without a connection. For true offline progress tracking, I just take a screenshot of my current page and note the date in a dedicated notebook app. Old school, but it never fails.

Yes, with caveats. The export function is typically a static snapshot, not a dynamic link. I download my Goodreads data quarterly and feed it into a custom AirTable base. It's a project, but it gives me charts and stats no app provides. For ongoing progress, I just use the offline mode in the Kindle or Kobo apps—they track my furthest read page locally on the device.

How to export data from books reading tracker?

I’ve been using a reading tracker for years, and exporting data is super straightforward. Most apps like 'Goodreads' or 'StoryGraph' have an export option tucked under settings or account preferences. For 'Goodreads', you go to 'My Books', scroll down to 'Import/Export', and hit 'Export Library'. It spits out a CSV file with all your titles, ratings, and dates. If you’re using a spreadsheet like Google Sheets to track reads manually, just download it as a CSV or Excel file. Some niche apps might require digging into help docs, but the process is usually similar—look for 'backup' or 'export' in settings. I’ve exported my data to switch apps or just to keep a personal backup, and it’s never taken more than a few clicks.

Is there an app that keeps track of books read with offline mode?

I've tried countless apps to track my reading, and 'Goodreads' is a solid choice with offline mode. It syncs your progress once you reconnect, but the interface can be clunky. For a sleeker experience, 'Bookly' is fantastic—it lets you log pages, time spent reading, and even generates stats offline. If you want something minimalist, 'Reading List' (iOS) or 'Libib' (cross-platform) are great for simply cataloging books offline. 'StoryGraph' is another gem, especially if you love data—it offers personalized recommendations and tracks moods/themes offline. For hardcore bibliophiles, 'LibraryThing' is a powerhouse with offline support, though it feels more like a database than an app. Each has quirks, but they’ll keep your reading journey organized even without Wi-Fi.

Can I track books read offline with a spreadsheet?

Tracking books offline with a spreadsheet is such a satisfyingly old-school method, and I love it. There’s something tactile about manually entering titles, authors, and even my personal ratings—like curating my own little library. I’ve got a Google Sheet with tabs for genres, DNFs (did not finish), and even a color-coded system for mood ratings. It’s flexible enough to add columns for tropes, trigger warnings, or quotes that stuck with me. I’ve seen people get creative with conditional formatting to highlight their 5-star reads or pivot tables to analyze their reading habits. The best part? No algorithm pushing recommendations. It’s just pure, unfiltered book nerdery. I can sort by year to see my reading evolution or filter by genre when I’m in a slump. Bonus: it works even when my wifi dies, unlike some apps that require syncing. For visual folks, embedding book covers as images turns it into a scrapbook. It’s not as flashy as Goodreads, but it’s 100% under my control—no ads, no social pressure, just books and my messy thoughts.

exporting data is something I've explored a lot. The app doesn’t have a built-in export feature, but there are workarounds. You can use the Goodreads website to export your data manually. Just log in, go to 'My Books,' and scroll down to the 'Import and export' section. From there, you can download a CSV file of your library. It includes details like titles, authors, ratings, and dates. I’ve used this to migrate my reading lists to other apps or just to keep a backup. It’s a bit clunky, but it works. For more advanced users, Goodreads has an API, but it requires some technical know-how to use effectively. I’ve seen people script their own solutions to pull data, but that’s not for everyone.

I’ve been using apps to track my reading for years, and exporting data is super handy for backups or switching platforms. Most apps like 'Goodreads' or 'StoryGraph' have built-in export features. In 'Goodreads', you go to 'My Books', then 'Import/Export' at the bottom, and hit 'Export Library'. It spits out a CSV file with all your titles, ratings, and dates. I love how organized it keeps everything—perfect for my nerdy spreadsheets. Some apps even let you sync with Google Sheets automatically. If you’re using a smaller app, check the settings or help section; they usually hide the option there. Pro tip: Always double-check the exported file to make sure nothing’s missing, especially if you’ve got a huge library.

Can you export Goodreads reading data?

Oh, Goodreads data exports are such a neat feature! I stumbled upon this while trying to track my reading habits last year. You can absolutely export your Goodreads data—it includes your shelves, ratings, reviews, and even reading dates. Just head to 'My Books,' scroll down to the 'Import and export' section, and click 'Export Library.' It downloads as a CSV file, which is super handy for spreadsheets or apps like Notion. I once used it to visualize my yearly progress with color-coded genres, and it felt like uncovering buried treasure. One thing to note: the export doesn’t include cover images or notes from private books, which bummed me out at first. But for analytics nerds like me, it’s a goldmine. I cross-referenced mine with StoryGraph’s import tool, and voilà—a whole new way to geek out over stats like 'mood' and 'pace.' If you’re into data-driven reading challenges, this is your ticket.

I've explored plenty of offline apps for tracking books. My absolute favorite is 'Bookly,' which not only logs your reads but also lets you jot down notes and track reading speed—super handy for analytics nerds like me. Another great option is 'Libib,' perfect for cataloging personal libraries with barcode scanning. For minimalists, 'Reading List' (iOS) keeps things clean and straightforward—just add titles and mark progress. If you prefer a journal-like feel, 'Book Tracker' offers customizable shelves and reading challenges. Offline functionality is crucial for me since I often read in places with spotty internet, like parks or during travel. These apps ensure my reading journey stays organized, even when disconnected.
