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’m not sure if any app syncs progress with eReaders, but I haven’t looked into it. Maybe KOreader can? Other than that Audiobookshelf works well with ebooks. I haven’t tested it with graphic novels, but it does handle regular ebooks (PDF and EPUB) just fine.

      Audiobookshelf actually handles graphic novels pretty well too - I’ve been using it for my manga collection and the mobile app works great for reading, but if you’re on iOS check out the soundleaf app which is even beter for connecting to audiobookshelf servers.

        Yeah, I made a separate comment, but AudioBookshelf can play nicely with ebooks and comics. It’s not super smooth, but provides the most features in a self hosted solution from what I’ve tried.
