koreader
An ebook reader application supporting PDF, DjVu, EPUB, FB2 and many more formats, running on Cervantes, Kindle, Kobo, PocketBook and Android devices
Project mention: Majority of web apps could just run on a single server | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-24Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Project mention: E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-12
I created an account, but then installed KOreader on my Libra 2 and just read books through that. It's FOSS, more customizable, and supports OPDS feeds which can do pretty neat things like finding articles from HN[0].

webook_server
💩📖 Worst E-book server - light weight OPDS and web server that converts ebook formats on the fly, using Python (2 or 3) and optional Calibre convert
I'm not clear on your requirements other than preserving directory structure. I've been off and on documenting (with very rough/scant notes) about OPDS servers I stumble across at https://github.com/clach04/webook_server/issues/9 dir2opds may work for you?
