Serious readers organize, convert, edit, and serve their e-book libraries with Calibre - the definitive open-source e-book manager. This deployment runs the full Calibre desktop application on your server, accessible from any browser, so your library lives in one authoritative place instead of scattered across devices. Its conversion engine is the best in the business, translating between every major format - EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, PDF, DOCX, and dozens more - with fine control over fonts, margins, metadata, and structure detection. Metadata management downloads covers, descriptions, series info, and identifiers from online sources, and every field is editable in bulk. Beyond cataloging, Calibre includes a full e-book editor for EPUB and AZW3 internals, a news engine that fetches newspapers and magazines from the web on schedule and converts them into e-books, book comparison tools, and device syncing that sends the right format to each connected reader. The built-in content server exposes your library over HTTP so phones, tablets, and e-readers can browse and download remotely. A deep plugin ecosystem extends everything - metadata sources, format support, store integrations. For power users, the complete CLI (calibredb, ebook-convert) enables scripted library automation. Your books, your metadata, your server - permanent and DRM-free storage under your control.

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.
