Can anyone who has experience with both share a recommendation? I’m interested in the user side of things for ebooks (no comics) but also ease of installation and maintenance.

I currently use Calibre-web and while it runs well, I find it cumbersome to organize my books through it.

Edit: great responses, thank you. I do like the idea of just having the epubs in a folder and share those but at least on my setup, the desktop Calibrw app doesn’t open libraries that are mounted from remote locations. They also advise against it.

So for now I guess it’s a choice between a local folder or calibre -web

    I used to use Kavita for ebooks and it was a pain to organize them. I usually just dump a bunch of .epubs into books directory, but it only recognizes books INSIDE of a folder. So, I just made a script to create a folder using the exact name and put the epub in it.

      I solved that for myself by making genre folders and just tossing books in them haphazardly as I download them.
