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.

    Kavita. It started for comics and moved on to books. It supports OPDS, the standard by which readers like KOReader and Mihon connect to fetch books.

    I have tried so many, Calibre (not good for graphic novels), Komga (very dated in comparison to Kavita), and more, but for both graphic novels and books, it won’t be beat.

    @4dpancake92@lemmy.world if you like Komga, take a look at Kavita. I was happy with my switch.

    I’m not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven’t looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven’t tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

      Audiobookshelf actually handles graphic novels pretty well too - I’ve been using it for my manga collection and the mobile app works great for reading, but if you’re on iOS check out the soundleaf app which is even beter for connecting to audiobookshelf servers.

    Jellyfin actually works for ebooks too. It does all the things you specified and more.
