Star Wars novels run across two timelines: canon, and the Legends books that came before it. Between them there are hundreds of books, and keeping track of what you own, what you’ve read and where each one sits in the saga gets hard fast.
Discovery
The Archives tab is every Star Wars novel, canon and Legends, in one long list. Filter it, search it, and find the one you’re looking for. Tap a book for the full briefing: where it lands in the saga and who’s in it, straight from Wookieepedia, plus a quick Find on Amazon for when you need it now.
Timeline
See the whole saga at once. Timeline lays every book along the in-universe timeline, with markers for the films and TV shows so you always know where a story fits. Scrub through the eras and pick your next jump to lightspeed.
Your Library
Keep track of the books you own, the ones you’ve read, the ones you want to read and your favorites. Already have a full shelf? You don’t have to add it one book at a time.
Scan your shelf to add
Point your camera at your shelf and on-device AI vision reads every spine and adds your whole library in one go. Adding just one? Scan its cover. And if all else fails, the ISBN barcode on the back has you covered.
