<p>My Reading Library is a very heavy modification of the <a href="http://blog.ashodnakashian.com/projects/now-reading-redux/" title="Now Reading Redux" rel="nofollow ugc">Now Reading Redux plugin by Ashod Nakashian</a> which is a resurrection of the <a href="http://heliologue.com/" title="Now Reading Reloaded" rel="nofollow ugc">Now Reading Reloaded plugin by Ben Gunnink</a> which is a fork of the <a href="http://robm.me.uk/projects/plugins/wordpress/now-reading/" title="Now Reading Plugin" rel="nofollow ugc">Now Reading plugin by Rob Miller</a>.</p>
<p>It allows you to develop a library, show the book details, track your progress, rate the book, and link to a WP post of your book review. It displays the library within the sidebar and on the library/book page with cover art fetched from Amazon.</p>
<p>The home of the My Reading Library plugin is in this WP Repository; however, you may report bugs and receive support: <a href="http://www.affordable-techsupport.com/support/" title="My Reading Library" rel="nofollow ugc">www.affordable-techsupport.com/support/</a></p>

My Reading Library

Displays books in the sidebar and library/book page with cover art fetched from amazon.com; displays book details, progress, ratings, and reviews.

<p>A very unobtrusive and light-weight reading progress bar indicator showing the user how far scrolled through the current post or page they are. You can control placement and color of the progress bar, and you can choose whether it includes just the main content or also the comments.</p>
<p>The progress bar only displays once the user begins scrolling the page so it is as unobtrusive as possible. Once the user stops scrolling or scrolls down past the content the progress bar subtly mutes until it is needed again.</p>
<p>There is also a reading time commitment feature that you can separately enable. Control the placement (above or below title, or above content), style, and whether it displays on posts and/or pages. Uses 200wpm as the metric for average reading time.</p>
<p>You can also place the time commitment label anywhere you want via the [wtr-time] shortcode.</p>


Worth The Read

Looks very promising, but on my site, nothing was added.

Absolutely does not anything :(

An adjustable progress meter showing how much of the post/page the user has scrolled through, and a read time commitment label near the post titles.
