I would like to start managing ebooks and manga properly. I don’t have many, but I plan on increasing my collection. My requirements are not so strict, I don’t mind getting the books/manga myself, but I am also curious about setting up LazyLibrarian at one point, is it worth it? (I already have other *arrs installed on my server). I had similar thoughts about Suwayomi.
My confusion starts from the accessories around all this: Calibre, CalibreWeb/Automated, Komga, Kavita, Audiobookshelf, etc. Does having a Kindle as reading device limits my possibilities to use any of these? Is setting up e.g. both CalibreWeb and Kavita redundant?
I guess my question is how is everyone using these services for their own library :)
Thanks! Definitely helps and I am happy to see how people are approaching the problem. It seems indeed an automated/selfhosted solution is not always the best in this case. I will also check out Kotatsu, didn’t know about that :)
Theres also a cli tool called kotatsu-dl that lets you download from all the websites the app can scrape, in case you want to read on your kindle but there arent any torrents.
