bkkeepr is a service for tracking your reading and bookmarks via Twitter. This site uses the bkkeepr API to calculate some statistics and draw some graphs about your recent reading.
The velocity of reading calculates statistics and draws graphs based on your reading habits. First, you must be a bkkeepr user - it's a site that tracks your reading, using Twitter to keep it up to date. Then all you do is enter your bkkeepr username into the home page of this site. You can see an example user here. There are a few limitations...
- The books graph and the statistics ignore unfinished books, the cumulative graph includes them.
- The app ignores bookmarks that aren't in page order.
- If the book isn't found in Amazon's API then I give it an estimated number of pages (350 - the average pages per book from my recent reading) and it probably won't have a title.
- The app only deals with the last 20 books you've read - this is mainly due to a restriction in Google charts.
Thank you.
