Bookshelf
Bookshelf turns a folder of EPUBs and PDFs you already own into a private library you can browse and read from any browser, at home or on your own server. Drop books into a folder, run the sync, and the shelf appears with covers extracted, titles searchable, and accents forgiven, so typing Bronte finds Brontë. Each reader in the house gets a profile that remembers their place in every book, and picking a book up on your phone resumes where the laptop left it, with a Continue button waiting on the shelf. EPUBs open chapter by chapter instead of downloading the whole archive, and PDFs stream in small ranged reads, so even a large scanned book opens quickly. Choose a two-page spread, a single page, or continuous scroll, then set paper, sepia, or night tints for longer sessions. E-readers join through the OPDS catalog, which lets a Kobo or Kindle-side client browse and download from the same shelf. There is no database to run and no account system to manage; the library is plain files you can back up with the volume. Running on a dedicated VPS on RepoCloud with guaranteed CPU, RAM, and SSD, full root SSH access, and a browser serial console. MIT licensed.
