CWA is an eBook manager, and it is popular in the selfhosted book space. Please see the changelog link for the full summary, it is well organized and so I didnât copy it here.
hanrahan@slrpnk.net âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago as an ignoramus whatâs the go with this?
I use Calibre with my ebooks on an SSD and just upload via USB to my Kobo Colour
I donât have many PDFs there be case they suck using them on my Kobo and I donât have a tablet or anything bigger screened to read them on besides my desktop (yet)
Calibre-web and calibre can share a library directory. You can edit the .kobo/kobo/Kobo ereader.conf file to wirelessly sync to calibre-web instead of kobo.com (while still using kobo.com to buy new ebooks)
Kirk@startrek.website âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago Small nitpick- this project isnât Calibe-Web, itâs a fork with extra features; the idea being that you donât also need to be running Calibre.
Nice, Iâve been using this for a year or two now and itâs become my main ereader server after a lot of time trying to land on one.
Will need to check if thereâs finally a way to sync read progress between different versions of the same library item (i.e. PDF & epub). One of my use cases is for storing magazines and being able to read the epub on my phone, but the full PDF on my tablet and have the progress sync properly is a personal holy grail
I donât have a use case, so I canât test. This looks promising, though:
Shared Progress Across Copies: Progress is now stored against the Calibre book rather than the file checksum, so different copies/formats of the same book on different devices stay in sync. (PR #1225)
!!!
Oh thatâs made my week and weâre only about 2 hours in to it, will update my server test that out in the morning
Iâll have to check this out, I use Kobo sync extensively.
gdbjr@piefed.social âš3â© âšweeksâ© ago I tried to give this a go and migrate my calibre-web data over, but CWA refuses to see any of my media files, it sees the all my config, but not any media.
If this project is closely based on Calibre it requires the [AIP] prefix.

FWIW Claude seems to be involved in 9 commits
The maintainer has made nearly 900 and there are about 50 other contributories
This isnât a vibe coded project
CWA is the example I always point to as to why vibe coded software doesnât make sense for broad use. CWA updates are slow (but detailed) which inspires many folks to âforkâ it with vibe coded apps, but since CWAs last update in Feb, several vibe coded âcompetitorâ projects have risen and fallen.

Its a fork of Calibre-Web not Calibre
