Do Unicorn Dreams Stories Count Toward Apple Books Reading Goals?

You can download a Unicorn Dreams story as an EPUB or PDF, import it into Apple Books, and read it offline. PDFs can count toward your Reading Goals if you enable Include PDFs. Apple does not say whether EPUB files you import yourself count, so you will need to test the file by reading for a minute or two and checking today’s reading time.

Add the story to Apple Books

Apple Books opens EPUB and PDF files on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Imported stories appear in your Library.

On iPhone or iPad

1. Open the Files app or Safari’s downloads.
2. Find the downloaded EPUB or PDF.
3. Open the Share menu.
4. Choose Books.

Apple Books will add the story to your Library, where you can open it and read offline.

On Mac

Open the Books app and drag the EPUB into it. You can also choose File, then Add to Library, and select the EPUB.

The imported story will appear in your Library.

How Apple Books Reading Goals work

Apple Books tracks how many minutes you read each day and how many books and audiobooks you finish each year.

The daily goal is five minutes by default. You can change it from the Reading Now tab on an iPhone or iPad, or from Home on a Mac.

A file may open correctly in your Library without its reading time being added to your daily goal.

Do imported Unicorn Dreams stories count?

It depends partly on the file format.

PDF reading counts toward your goal only when Include PDFs is enabled. On a current iPhone or iPad, open Settings, choose Apps, then Books, and turn on Include PDFs. On older versions, Books appears directly in Settings.

Apple’s documentation does not say whether reading time from an EPUB you imported yourself counts. The simplest way to check is to test the file on your device.

Check whether your EPUB counts

1. Open Apple Books and note today’s reading time.
2. Open the imported Unicorn Dreams EPUB.
3. Read for one or two minutes.
4. Return to Reading Now on your iPhone or iPad, or Home on your Mac.
5. Check whether today’s reading time has increased.

If the time increases, Apple Books counted the reading session. If it does not, the imported EPUB may not be contributing to your daily goal.

For a PDF, enable Include PDFs before running the same test.

Daily reading time and the annual finished-books goal are separate measurements. Check the one you want to track.

Other ways to read the downloaded story
