I know lots of people use Calibre, but I find it fussy and don't like how it organizes things in the library interface. I've been using Ubooquity instead and it's pretty drop-dead simple to use and I like the web-reader more, especially on tablets.
1) Start the application
2) Tell it where your stuff is
3) Wait while it indexes it (it does not replicate your content into a book index just grabs front pages for thumbnails)
4) Go to the server address:port with whatever browser.
It really works well if you organize your reading material by folders as Ubooquity simply uses that in the application.
It works really brilliantly on the kinds of full-page-image books you might find on the Internet Archive.
- toomuchtodo 6y agoDoes it have a feature to import books from the Internet Archive when provided an item link? Killer feature imho.
- bane 6y agoNo, I wish it did. I've spoken with the author and he's pretty adamant at keeping it really focused and keeping out any feature creep. Instead he's just fixing bugs and doing some performance updates. Instead I just download the PDF from IA into the folder where it should be and tell Ubooquity to rescan the books it's managing and voila!
