Importing from Eat Your Books

Eat Your Books exports your bookshelf as a CSV file, 200 books per page. If you have more than 200 books you'll need to download one file per page and upload them all together.

Step 1 — Export from Eat Your Books

  1. Log in to Eat Your Books and go to your Bookshelf.
  2. Select the Books tab.
  3. Choose the minimal view option (the download only works in this view).
  4. Click Download CSV to save the file for the current page.
  5. If you have more than 200 books, go to the next page and repeat until you have a file for each page.

Step 2 — Import into Cookbooker

  1. Go to Bookshelf → Import your collection.
  2. Select Eat Your Books as the source.
  3. Upload all your exported CSV files at once — you can select multiple files or drag them all onto the dropzone.
  4. Review the results and click Import.

What comes over

  • Cookbooks matched by ISBN — added to your shelf
Eat Your Books exports do not include ratings or written notes — only the bookshelf list. If you want to bring ratings over, you'll need to use a LibraryThing or Goodreads export instead.
