“For a lot of us, the best part of reading is the community. It’s a part of how we show up in the world as readers every day,” said Michael Tamblyn, CEO, Rakuten Kobo. “That’s why I’m so excited about our integration with StoryGraph. We wanted to strip away the friction between finishing a chapter and tracking and sharing your progress. Now, Kobo readers can do exactly that, seamlessly. We love the ability to celebrate every page turned and every book completed with people who care just as much as you do. It makes your reading life a little more connected, a little more insightful, and a whole lot more fun.”
