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.

I just use AudioBookshelf for books. It's a little annoying, but basically just requires an extra nested folder structure.

The best part is offline reading seems to resync back to the server, so you can download books for local reading or read through an internet connection.
