Hi all, I’m looking for a one-stop selfhosted eBook software that can do the following:
- Easily import (or upload) files and scrape metadata
- Sync library and progress with web reader, eReader and android app(s)
- Support for graphic novels
Basically I’m looking for Audiobookshelf but for… books
Calibre Web Automated
- Can’t sync progress with web
Kavita
- Can’t upload files
Stumpapp any good? I heard you can upload files.
Kavita. It started for comics and moved on to books. It supports OPDS, the standard by which readers like KOReader connect to fetch books.
I have tried so many, Calibre (not good for graphic novels), Komga (very dated in comparison to Kavita), and more, but for both graphic novels and books, it won’t be beat.
@[email protected] if you like Komga, take a look at Kavita. I was happy with my switch.
Does it sync progress?
Yes, in supported apps / protocols. Koreader, for example, should have 2-way sync for eBooks, and Mihon has 2-way sync for Manga.
+1 for kavita. It also has a nice webreader ui.
Like I mentioned in the main post, Kavita is out because it doesn’t do uploads or embed metadata, and the developer isn’t interested in changing that.
