  @jarulf I have a calibre set-up that I've been using for over a decade, I'm pretty happy with it.

    @wil @bookstodon Do you use it to track your physical books as well?

    I may actually go this route. I already use calibre on my PC and Calibre-web on a raspberry pi. I haven't used the latter much, except to download books to my Kobo, but if I could easily mark books as read on it that would be really nice.
    Guess I'll have to actually learn how to use both Calibre and Calibre-web properly.

  @Jarulf just out of curiosity: why would you want a private "booktracking tool"? if it is just for you then any wiki will suffice!

  @jarulf @bookstodon Have you considered using bookwyrm? https://joinbookwyrm.com/

    @quaff
    I haven't used bookwyrm in a while, but it didn't have any sort of reader integration so you have to do manual updates (koreader and komga support would rock) and it just slurps up disk space with no way to clear any cache or anything. Development is also sporadic, which is why I eventually dropped it after over a year of no releases.

      @aaron @quaff @bookstodon Personally I don't really mind doing manual updates, but then I don't do incremental ones. I do use koshelf with KoReader though, but that's obviously only for ebooks and mostly just for fun.

    @quaff @bookstodon I have an account on bookrastination.com, and really want to like it, but find it much too awkward to use.
