I wanted something like Calibre that could store the | database on a server while properly handling multiple clients. | Definitely going to try Librum out. | robcohen wrote: | This sounds great. I personally like to use SyncThing/MobiusSync | to sync my devices, then I use Okulus or KyBook to read. It's a | bit clunky but only because Apple is a closed system. | ashton314 wrote: | Where do y'all get ebooks from? I've been getting ebooks from | Amazon and using Calibre to convert them to epubs, but I'd love | it if I could just buy DRM-free epubs. Lots of authors seem | reticent to do that. (Brandon Sanderson being an exception; none | of his works are DRM'd, at least they shouldn't be.) | lijok wrote: | I'm in desperate need of a tool like this + a license management | platform for my company.
