The software is cross-platform which means, it’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. In addition to that, you can easily sync it with other devices. You can create digital libraries, manage your existing device, modify the metadata and much more.

The actual rules are in the librarian guidelines, but they are essentially the same as Worldcat (which means the same as libraries use). On GR: click the "page number" in the status update and it'll change to % which is much easier to guesstimate (it's not like anyone will care if you're a % or two off on GR ![]()
