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.

Maybe take a look at Komga. It does support both ebooks and graphic novels, has koreader sync for progress and can even share/distribute stuff via OPDS to koreader and other clients that support OPDS.

However file uploading is not directly possible, maybe this would work with something like a Nextcloud server?!

Yeah I'm fine with a folder that it regularly scans or something, I just don't want to have to properly tag everything/get cover art manually every time.

I currently use Komga for graphic novels (cdisplayex syncs progress with it). I had no idea it had Koreader support, maybe I'll give it more of a look.
