  Yeah, I settled on Calibre Web, which is not quite as ugly as Calibre Desktop with the themepark addon.

    Before you get too far into it, check out booklore and calibre-web-automated.

      I’ll check those out. At the most, I guess I’d have to re-import the books if the db isn’t the right format.

        I think my issue was that the shelves are just number based so remaking a shelf isn’t the same as the original. Def operator error. Sync still worked fine it just removed books from the shelf but stayed on the device.

    I’m using Calibre web to organise books, convert format and download metadata; and then use Kavita to read my books/comics. Works great.

    Theme park add on? Tell me more!

      ThemePark is a docker container that has a multitude of themes for many different applications. To add the theme for Calibre, you’ll access Settings and then Edit Basic Configuration, and insert ‘theme-park.dev’ in the ‘Trusted Hosts’ slot, thusly"

      That gives you a more pleasing asthetic to Calibre: theme

        I don’t use calibre web yet. I only use calibre’s inbuilt web service thing. Does theme park work with that too?

        Also, I have calibre running on windows and I don’t run docker on that (for reasons). So can I use calibre web on a separate system on the network and have it connect to the calibre db somehow over the wire?
