I assume it doesnt track books you upload to the app manually?

It is tracking my uploaded epub’s for me but I think you need the metadata to be right for it to know what book it is.

I've read 56 books in the app this year, all manually uploaded with full metadata. I can even confirm most of the books I have read show up in the Book store as well because I am annoyingly suggested to buy them whenever I try to find them in 'search' (annoying feature)

The review doesn't show up in my app but someone below thinks their uploaded titles have been tracked. Who knows what the rhyme or reason is.

In my experience Apple Music Replay is terrible so my expectations are measured anyway but I would like to be able to use this service if it were possible.
