Kobo readers have one less reading chore to worry about. A month after teasing StoryGraph support, Rakuten Kobo has finally released this feature to its users. That means your Kobo reading progress can now make its way over to StoryGraph without you lifting a finger.
The company first detailed the feature in a press release back in May. Now that it is live, your Kobo eReaders and apps can sync directly with your StoryGraph account. Any book you open will pop up on your StoryGraph “Currently Reading” shelf, your progress percentages will stay in step across both platforms, and finishing a book on your Kobo will automatically mark it as “Read” on StoryGraph.
As far as book tracking goes, StoryGraph is my personal favorite. It’s not only good at tracking books, but I generally find its recommendations better than Goodreads. The only issue with the app was that I had to manually add my books to it. Now that Kobo will automatically sync, that issue is no more.
The best part is that it covers both eBooks and audiobooks. So whether you are curled up with your Kobo device or listening your way through your reading goals, the sync has you covered.
Once everything is connected, StoryGraph puts that activity to good use, feeding it into your reading stats, recommendations, challenges, streaks, and book-club features.
Getting started is simple. Sign in to your Kobo account on Kobo.com, head to Account Settings, choose Integrations, then pick StoryGraph and hit Connect. That’s it. Your progress will start syncing automatically.
Kindle has quietly enjoyed Goodreads integration for years as one of its understated perks, even if Goodreads is not everyone’s cup of tea. Now, Kobo users can finally enjoy the same feature, albeit on a different platform.
StoryGraph has slowly emerged as a Goodreads alternative for book readers, and automatic Kobo syncing means you get all those juicy insights without having to remember to update yet another app every time you turn a page.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
