    Definitely should be possible. And in general there are ways to get the data in, it’s just not average user-friendly. Even a simple Calibre export can be imported by a Bookwyrm instance admin, it just requires some data parsing before that. Nobody is really willing to do that on a scale that matters.

      I was thinking:

      1. User installs plugin
      2. Popup window prompts for Fediverse login and offers a prominent Bookwyrm create account button with default instance or chose another, it would be cool if it would autofill everything except email and password.
      3. Once inside, it shows you a list of checkboxes where you can chose what to share: book info (metadata), user reviews (stars), is there anything else?
      4. Shows you a progress of what is being synced
      5. Once “closed”, it will run in the background every time you run Calibre, unless you set it to manual sync.

      Any ideas?
