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.

Not sure about comic support, but I think you can get much of that using a combo of Calibre and Calibre-web-automated.

    I started off with calibre-web and Kavita, but transitioned to calibre-web only. I found that I have a lot of weird formats for comic books that are not handled well by regular comics hosting. If you have everything in standard CBR formats (etc), then you should have no issues.

    I found Kavita and komga basically equivalent, but some people have said it makes a difference for manga series.

    Calibre-web-automated is a different project with more features and more active development. I'd probably choose that if I were setting it up today.

    I was running calibre-web and tried running it side by side with calibre-web-automated and it was an absolute breeze. It’s got some really nice features on top of the original. I’d highly recommend giving it a try - it was a surprisingly low bar to get running!
