I have bunch of textbooks, and a lot of lecture notes and notes from colleagues, all in PDF format. What is a good way to classify, manage, store, and read these PDF files? I am trying calibre-web, but it seems difficult to find applications to connect to it.

As a card-carrying librarian, I recommend using Zotero as a client with a WebDAV backend (I use Nextcloud).

If you’re studying or writing anything in which you need to cite your sources, Zotero is excellent and has integrations with many word processors. I’m pretty sure it can output your references as BibTeX if you’re in one of the disciplines that uses LaTeX.

I'm not even a librarian but pshh, I still got a card. They give them out to anyone, you know.
