Calibre-Web

Calibre-Web is a powerful web application that provides a beautiful, user-friendly interface for managing and reading ebooks stored in a Calibre database. Unlike the desktop Calibre application, Calibre-Web is designed specifically for web access, allowing you to browse your entire ebook collection, read books directly in your browser, and download titles to your devices from anywhere. With support for multiple ebook formats including EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, and CBR/CBZ comics, Calibre-Web handles diverse reading materials seamlessly. The integrated ebook reader provides a comfortable reading experience with customizable fonts, themes, and reading progress tracking, while the metadata editor allows you to maintain a well-organized library with proper book information, covers, and tags.
