I will say, even given all the drama around the original creator in the last few weeks, Booklore has a solid front end experience, is quite flexible, and generally stable app. It’s a bummer the creator acted childishly (again and again), but I know I’ll be looking to use whatever the v2 of this becomes.

Good riddance.
Has anyone used Komga as an alternative? It’s primarily for manga and comics but it seems to support books too (epub and PDF). It also seems to be able to sync books with Kobo devices.

I set up Komga as soon as the original reddit thread went up about the Booklore dev. Works great, pretty simple, does what it needs to do, and setting up Kobo sync for my wife took all of 5 minutes.

Yep, works great. If you need help setting it up, reach out.

even if I have, I wouldn’t bother helping you out.

it works well for manga in my limited experience, spin up an instance and try it out :)

I just switched to Komga, the only thing I’m missing is the easy way to search for metadata, but I don’t mind that part. Komga works perfectly fine for normal books in my short testing.
The handling of books is a bit weird, because for single books it creates a “Series” with only one entry.
I don’t directly sync to my Kobo reader, but instead use KOReader and access Komga via OPDS. The progress sync from KOReader to Komga works too (just don’t use special characters in your password)
