EBook Management

3 years ago by lenuup to c/selfhosted

I am setting up a new server for my media and wanted to ask for your best ways to manage an ebook and comic collection. I have been using calibre so far, but it is not really designed to be managed remotely.

I'm currently using Calibre and Audiobookshelf, where the latter is basically just using the folder structure of Calibre with and additional folder for some audiobooks. Works okay but is not the greatest solution. The calibre library web interface is quite nice (not the weird VNC-style admin panel, the one on other port). People also mention lazylibrarian a lot but I never tried it.

I’m using the calibre-web version with several kobo ebooks. It pretty good. The best user experience is with the kobo epub format.
