Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this? (lemy.lol)

Hi all, I'm looking for a one-stop selfhosted eBook software that can do the following:

  • Easily import (or upload) files and scrape metadata
  • Sync library and progress with web reader, eReader and android app(s)
  • Support for graphic novels

Basically I'm looking for Audiobookshelf but for... books

Calibre Web Automated

  • Can't sync progress with web

Kavita

  • Can't upload files

Stumpapp any good? I heard you can upload files.

Jellyfin actually works for ebooks too. It does all the things you specified and more.

Wow really? What ereaders does it page sync with?

EDIT: Oh my this could be promising.

EDIT: Jellyfin frustratingly doesn't allow you to store eBooks, Audiobooks and Comics in the same folder like CWA.

Audiobookshelf needs a plugin like KOfin!

Edit: oh snap there is one https://github.com/naleo/audiobookshelf.koplugin but no progress sync :(

Besides the official jellyfin app, there is also JellyBook

[–] glitching@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago

it also has the OPDS plugin, so compatible Android readers can get books directly off it

whoa that's amazing. Jellyfin does everything.
