What does combining them get you? I use Calibre but hadn't heard of Kavita and I'm not clear what Kavita gives me that I don't already have with Calibre?

- Yodel0914 2y agoI hadn't heard of Kavita either, but it looks like it's a lot prettier than Calibre, and (perhaps) has better a better reader. It looks like it doesn't manage format conversion and syncing though, which I guess is why you'd use both it and Calibre together.
- Larrikin 2y agoCalibre is a very ugly tool for converting formats, fixing metadata, and all the other worst parts of managing an ebook library. The single author's eccentricities are apparent but it was first and it does complete those jobs. If you slog through the setup and quirks, you at best get an iTunes experience from 10 years ago, and I just don't like using it to actually manage my library. Kavita is more like Plex, where when you have your library in something of a decent form it makes using your library a much better experience. Its also the only tool I know of that handles both manga and ebook libraries well.
