mesaHere Are Your Choices for a Self-hosted eBook Server
Thinking about self-hosting an ebook library? Here are the open source software you can consider.
jacksilverThe one I’ve enjoyed the most is www.audiobookshelf.org, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).
I do the same. It is not perfect for it but it works and it is already running. I’m not sure I would recommend it for anyone not looking for audiobooks
I tried Calibre web and Kogma.
Calibre is just bad software at this point, it’s clunky and not really designed as a server.
Kogma was fine, but a web only interface made it hit or miss. The big selling point for me with audio bookshelf was the ability to download local copies.
Thx! We coulf call it an ebook library then and not a reader.
