Has anybody experienced with running calibre-web + kavita (or another combination of ebook oriented services) combined? I’m asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but you can upload books, kavita is nice but opinionated, etc). Any experience on that regard?

    Confused as to what the question is, are you looking for an idea as to which ebook platform is the most usable? In my experience (between Calibre & Komga) Calibre is the champion, its not the one people talk about all the time for nothing

      I’m not into ebooks that much and don’t have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I’ve just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I’ve read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I’m one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?
