Comment on Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions

Interesting, thanks! I agree with you about using specific tools for different purposes. Tbf my kindle is a 2018 model put on airplane mode since 2021, maybe I can do something about Koreader.

About comics/manga, didn’t know about comictagger, it seems very good. So your process here is get comics -> comictagger -> upload to server and kavita, correct?

The latest Kindle update broke the jailbreak even if it was installed, so you’ll need to stop updates. Not being able to use the internet to pull down books from your Calibre-web server means you may as well just send books via Calibre.

I’m planning on getting a Kobo Clara BW when my Kindle dies (it’s currently got holes at the corners and a few dodgy-sounding rattles so soon™). Then I can use Koreader+Calibre-web to download books and sync read state like you can do with Amazon.

So your process here is get comics -> comictagger -> upload to server and kavita, correct?

Pretty much, apart from that I often add them and only fix if necessary, e.g. they’re not going into series properly.

  That’s sadly true. I am thinking of waiting for the kindle to die too, but I was looking more at the onyx boox go 6, since I already know I can run whatever I want on there.

  I see, thanks! Do you mind if I ask you where you can find them with some good metadata? My attempts have been not so good until now…

    Most of the manga I have is amateur translated stuff, so the metadata quality varies with release groups.
    
    The graphic novels are generally retail releases, but sometimes I still want to edit to get rid of marketing words (e.g. the title might mention how it’s now a Netflix series or something).
