Calibre Web VS Kavita

Calibre-web can, I use it with an app on an iPad. It’s not immediately obvious how to access it, but here’s a GitHub issue with good info: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/issues/2103

You can simply use this website to send yourself books using the web browser on the kobo

https://send.djazz.se/

Or you can host your own "Kobo store" using calibre web and use that to sync your books

There are already some very good ebooks solutions out there so there's really no need. Calibre for the backend and database management, Calibre-Web for the front end, and Openbooks for content.

I have a carefully-curated calibre-web library that is 100% epubs. I have a kindle to which I usually send books from calibre-web with the 'send to e-reader' button, and it works great.

Worthy of note the Calibre-Web[0] project, which builds atop Calibre library to provide powerful web interface. The project and its maintainer deserve some love and support.

Calibre-web

A pihole, of course. A backup script runner. An eink dashboard.. A book server.

I think Calibre advocates forgot what it's like to setup it for the first time and what a messy ugly process it is for new timers. A containerized version needs VNC access to set it up and perform GUI un-intuitive interface UI actions https://docs.linuxserver.io/images/docker-calibre/#applicati...

I've used https://www.kavitareader.com/ but it's not perfect either, this space could be "disrupted" by a Plex like product with opensource + licensed offerings but the target market is pretty small I think.

Hey, Kavita creator here and noticed you don't have any mentions of Kavita for epub readers. Kavita is not a Calibre replacement, but has a built-in epub/pdf reader along with some series-based organization.
