Add more usage tracking data for "quantified self" purposes
I've gotten really into tracking various metrics of my life, such as physical activity, browsing history, music listening habits, sleep, etc. The next frontier I would like to add to this is my reading. It would be really cool if this app gave me access to raw data on the specific times I read specific pages and made various annotations, like a browser history for my ebook reading. At the moment, there aren't any other apps that really scratch this itch for me. Kobo comes closest, but I want to access the raw data to play with, not just look at how they choose to present it. iBooks and Kindle have what I want, but I have to rummage through database files in my backups which is a pain. ReadMill was really getting there when I discovered it recently, and then it promptly announced it would be shutting down soon. Basically, the bottom line is that this would be a cool feature, and another way to really stand out from the crowd and win over a new geeky demographic of users. (See quantifiedself.com if you want more convincing that there is a market for this sort of thing.)
Thanks again!

I didn't see that you'd responded! I don't know if you're still interested a year later, but what I meant was basically information that I could put into a timeline about how much time I spent reading, and what pages I read. Thanks again for this amazing app.

Have a another question, what raw data are you most wanted? I 'm designing the feature, your suggestion or thoughts may help me.

It's really inspiring,it's a interesting new direction.But why you want raw data, it may be too long to read, do you think view like kobo or a calendar view may be better?
Could you tell how you would use the data, it may be helpful for me to design the view.
