Multiple users might allow that for friends and family
It’s easier to ask “ what else could this mean” in a positive way and assume that it doesn’t have to make sense to one perspective to make sense for everyone.
Calibre for example doesn’t seem to do the multi device access/sync well
- suslik 3y agoCalibre library syncs perfectly across devices via dropbox / any other cloud storage. Can't see why this wouldn't just work with a shared cloud folder as well. This also has an added benefit that the books are available for download on mobile.
- j45 3y agoAs a light Calibre user: - Calibre doesn't have a reader app as far as I can tell on android or iphone. - KOReader I hear is excellent and could point to Calibre, but again, I don't think it handles per user highlights and annotations as easily. Mostly I'm looking for a reasonably straight forward workflow to import highlights into logseq/obsidian that doesn't need a user to install or run a script manually, or connect a usb cable. That kind of self-hosting is useful.
- suslik 3y agoFair enough - I don't do highlights; usually I only import books into marvin (iOS reader app), so never encountered this use case.
- j45 3y agoI have a lot of love and respect for calibre. Since I’ve started playing around with logseq/obsidian for one point of note taking the value of having your notes and annotations from books and YouTube videos in one place is too close to making all that reading more useful and introduce it into practice :)
