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 tried Kavita first before moving over to calibre-web. Just with ebooks, no comics, the user experience in Kavita was a bit confusing (i.e. the way they reference books/series etc). Calibre-web does a much better job with ebooks imo. I will say the UI in Kavita is really nice. I have a Readarr->calibre->calibre-web stack, so Readarr/calibre takes care of organization for me, Calibre-web is essentially just a frontend to download and send to kindle
