I put all my books into a Calibre library on Dropbox and open them in Apple Books via files or CC. Does ubooquity offer something more?
I’m missing something that can markup on PDFs and highlights/notes on epubs dont sync back to the original file because iBooks has it’s own copy. But I haven’t found a clear solution to this yet - one app that supports reading both PDF and epub and will sync annotations back into the file or a server. Send me recommendations please! Can ubooquity help here?
- red0point 6y agoCool solution, however, what does CC stand for?
- zaptheimpaler 6y agoCalibre companion. It’s an iOS app that i can point to a Calibre lib in Dropbox and browse/import into iBooks. It’s nicer than going through the files app because it can read the calibre DB.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoCan CC read a Calibre DB and ebooks out of Files/iCloud Drive?
- petemir 6y agoFor PDFs, I use Documents by Readdle on iPad. Great for the markup and includes syncing (files accessible offline). Lots of options for the latter (OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, I use WebDAV), although syncing is a pain because you have to keep the app open (it seems to be an iOS limitation). For EPUBs, sadly, it doesn’t do highlight... for this I think you could use Marvin, which can read from a Calibre Server.
- zaptheimpaler 6y agoThanks~ I'm using Marvin now and its great. Hits almost all my checkboxes for a reader.
