Anybody got recommendations for an ebook setup?
I'd like to set something up for my Kobo Libra 2 that puts together a site where I collect my reading list (good reads, storygraph, bookwyrm) then downloads those books to a local server ( readarr?). Then makes them available for my Kobo( calibre web?).
Was curious if anybody has any guides or a better way to set all that up. I really like the sites for browsing new recommendations, but it's a manual process to get the books to my ereader. I'd like to surf and add books to my own 'store' I could access from my Kobo.
You're viewing a single thread.
Regarding the Calibre web server part, if you happen to already be running a web server with PHP wherever your calibre library is, there is an old PHP front end called COPS ("Caliibre OPDS (and html) php server") which still works and I still use, and find better for my uses than Calibre's web server. It provides a web interface, OPDS interface, and a built in web based epub viewer.
I do happen to already run a web server for other things, so this is more convenient for me than seperately keeping calibre's web server running all the time. But even more importantly, I like using the calibre command line tool (calibredb), and if you run the calibre web server, the command line tool doesn't work (because calibre locks the database).
Works for me anyhow.
