Sure. As a fork, it has all of the benefits of Calibre-web. It’s stable, well established, versitile, works well with Calibre desktop software (they are three different projects, despite the similar names). Yet it has a number of different features like automatic ingest, writing/converting files, sending to different devices, etc. There is a pretty complete list on the GitHub page I linked. It has a big community and active development, so its likely that any features you might look for could be coming soon.
There are other self hosted software projects for ebooks (you can even use Jellyfin!). I had switched to Booklore at one point for a more modern UI and tracking, but it was more flash than execution and ultimately looks like it flamed out over some community issues. There are also projects like Kavita that are designed for features around comics/manga, but also do an excellent job with ebooks in general.
You should consider two things: what the library looks like, and where it will be read. If it is mostly books with a few other media (like comics, PDFs, etc.), then CWA is probably a good bet. If it’s mostly comics and manga with some books and other media, consider whether Kavita is the better fit. If it is mostly DRM content, and you or if you want to manage it through Calibre Desktop, how does it connect? How often are new books being added and from where?
What screen will it ultimately be read on? If it’s an ereader, check out the “books” and “self-hosted” communities here on Lemmy for which protocol, etc. is used. If it will be read on a computer or mobile device, what apps are available? Will it be read on multiple devices?
For example, if it is a small library, read on an Android/iOS device, Jellyfin with JellyBook may be fine. If it is a large manga library already tracked on AniList, Kavita may be a good bet. If features like notes and highlights are important to sync across devices, something like Anx Reader with WebDAV might even be better.
What OP describes is an excellent setup for 90% of cases.
Excellent writeup! Thanks for posting. Lately, I’ve been using Calibre Web Automated, an active fork with a lot of added features and compatibility features.
Depending on someone’s setup it may or not be worth it to switch (Calibre-web works great), but I’d definitely recommend it for someone starting up.
Lemmy is not the same today as it was two years ago, and the app landscape is not the same either. There are a number of key improvements that we can work together to create.
We are looking for additional moderators
This is not a traditional moderation task. There is very little in terms of moderating comments and post content. Rather, we are looking especially for people willing to put in a little work on a monthly or bimonthly basis to improve existing projects.
Updating and Automating the Lemmy Apps Directory
The Apps “metathread” directory is woefully out of date. At present, no part of it is automated. I have been manually checking each app and updating information periodically, but this has proven unsustainable. I am sure that there is someone in this community who has the technical background to update it in a fully or partially automated way.
Updating join-Lemmy.org/apps
If the community megathread here is out of date, the “official” website is a fossil. This is the number one most visible place that people find apps. It’s the top result in most web searches, it falls under the umbrella of the official project, etc. This community is not affiliated with the website, but it is OSS and they do accept pull requests. Someone with basic knowledge of github and a little free time could do a lot of good here.
App reviews
I’d love for people to share some specifics about the app you use and what you love about it. Do you have screenshots of a custom layout/palette you’ve set up? Let’s show off what lemmy apps can do!
Info about PieFed support
Some apps have extended to other platforms of the fediverse, especially PieFed. How would we like to integrate and highlight that info? Should there be a special category or list in this community? A new community entirely?
Please share your thoughts and how you may be able to contribute. Like everything on lemmy, this community is what we collectively make of it. Thanks for making it great!
Lemmy Apps Directory
The following is a directory of current Lemmy apps. This list includes apps that have released in the last 6 months, or have been confirmed to be in active development, with the most recent at the top. You can find a list including older apps here (unmaintained apps may have security or compatibility issues). The

“We developed a deep neural network that maps the phase and amplitude of WiFi signals to UV coordinates within 24 human regions. The results of the study reveal that our model can estimate the dense pose of multiple subjects, with comparable performance to image-based approaches, by utilizing WiFi signals as the only input.”
Yes, just not a long line of great governance.
