Can anyone who has experience with both share a recommendation? I’m interested in the user side of things for ebooks (no comics) but also ease of installation and maintenance.
I currently use Calibre-web and while it runs well, I find it cumbersome to organize my books through it.
Edit: great responses, thank you. I do like the idea of just having the epubs in a folder and share those but at least on my setup, the desktop Calibrw app doesn’t open libraries that are mounted from remote locations. They also advise against it.
So for now I guess it’s a choice between a local folder or calibre -web
This is hilarious. I just set this up tonight. I use readarr to grab the books. Then Kavita Ingests them. Then I just use the app Pocketbook to read on my phone or tablet. It connects directly to your Kavita instance!
