Kindle is the most common e-reader for professional and nonfiction reading. This skill provides two pathways for reading progress data — an automated Goodreads RSS sync for users who sync their Kindle reading to Goodreads, and a manual/semi-manual Amazon library export for users who prefer to track directly. Reading highlights from kindle.amazon.com provide the most granular per-book insight, including the specific passages the user marked during reading — these are stored in vault/learning/00_current/highlights/ for future reference.
Method 1 — Goodreads RSS (recommended if Goodreads is active): Reads two RSS feeds from the user's Goodreads account:
https://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/{USER_ID}?shelf=currently-reading — provides title, author, and date added to currently-reading shelf. Note: Goodreads RSS does not provide page-level progress — the user must manually update current page in vault/learning/00_current/current-reading.md.https://www.goodreads.com/review/list_rss/{USER_ID}?shelf=read&sort=date_read — provides completed books with date_read for YTD completion count.Method 2 — Amazon Content page (fallback): Navigates to Amazon's Kindle library page via Playwright to list all Kindle books. Does not provide reading progress (Amazon only shows completion in the app, not on the web). Use this method only for library inventory, not progress tracking.
Method 3 — Highlights export (supplemental):
Amazon's Kindle Notebook at read.amazon.com/kp/notebook provides exported highlights and notes from all Kindle books. Export to vault/learning/00_current/highlights/ for future reference. The export is a text file with each highlight attributed to the book title. This is not used for progress calculation but is valuable for review and key takeaway extraction when logging a book completion.
Add to vault/learning/config.md:

vault/learning/00_current/current-reading.mdSince app-level reading progress is not accessible programmatically, the vault uses a manual update system:
# vault/learning/00_current/current-reading.md
title: "[book title]"
author: "[author name]"
total_pages: X
current_page: X # update this manually when checking in
start_date: "YYYY-MM-DD"
goodreads_sync: yes/no
last_updated: "YYYY-MM-DD"
The learning brief prompts the user to update this file if the last_updated date is more than 7 days ago.
