    Are you talking about the new List feature or the old reading list? ... Either way, not at the moment, no. There's no way to transfer a list - or any other account details - to another account. It's possible to rename an account, if that would solve whatever problem you have.

    If you mean the new list feature, it should be relatively quick and easy to recreate a list on another account using just some regular copy and paste, though. All you'd have to do is copy the description and re-add the novels, y'know? Maybe copy the novel descriptions if you wrote any (most people don't even realize they can, atm, tho..)

    If you mean a full reading list, you can ask @Tony for help. He might be able to duplicate one to another account. But I wouldn't bother him unless you have a ton of novels and altered settings on it, because it doesn't seem like it'd be quick and easy for him to do.

    If you go under Global Settings from the list page you can export the reading lists, it'll just be a big block of text but you can ctrl+a and paste that into notepad or something and then recreate the lists manually. It doesn't copy notes if you've made any though.

    Okay, it'll probably be easier to have both accounts open and just copy.
