@pnadigital ich bin auf einen #Kobo umgestiegen. Im Moment lese ich da noch ein paar alte Bücher, die ich schon habe aber ich muss mir langsam über Nachschub Gedanken machen. Idealerweise Anbieter, bei denen ich EPUB Dateien kaufen und herunterladen kann. Die kann ich dann über #Calibre auf meinen Kobo laden. Das müssten natürlich Anbieter sein, bei denen die Lizenz das hergibt. Heutzutage kauft man ja keine Bücher mehr, sondern nur noch die Lizenz, sie zu lesen.

#WritersCoffeeClub September 5: “Do you track your word count? How? Why?”

Yes, via #Calibre , using the EPUB version of the manuscripts.

I find it useful to determine how large the word count of my "Master Volume" is - the collection of all the German folk tales I have translated so far (currently, it's at 723,482 words). For my book manuscripts, the word count gives a useful gauge how long they will be in comparison to my previous books.

Time for a Come to Jeebus moment: I will never get along with #calibre ebook management.

It's an incredible, capable, venerable piece of software, and my partially blind ass just continuously gets gut punched by its interface hard and often enough that I spent a chunk of this evening picking apart the broken bits of 5 separate Calibre libraries I've tried to maintain over time. All failed.

So, I now have a sanely curated set of named folders on my NAS for ebooks:

./fiction
./fiction/science-fiction
./fiction/science-fiction/robert-a-heinlein
./freemasonry
./freemasonry/audiobooks
./.local
./.local/bin
./art
./art/digital

./tech/retro
./tech/retro/amiga

I am pleased with this arrangement.

Sometimes (often?) a nicely arranged #UNIX filesystem is chefs kiss perfect!

Update to Calibre-Web: Worth it?: https://cliff538.com/2026/08/31/update-to-calibreweb-worth-it.html

Out on the road, I’ve had time to fully investigate my Calibre-Web setup. I wrote a short post about it, but this is an update on using it and whether it’s worth the setup time.

Calibre-Web

#CalibreWeb is a web app that offers a clean and intuitive interface for browsing, reading, and downloading #eBooks using a valid #Calibre database.

Ich würde gerne meine Bücher und meinen Lesefortschritt zwischen meinem eReader und meiner #Calibre Web Automated-Instanz synchronisieren.
Eignet sich dafür die Kobo-Integration mehr oder empfiehlt es sich mehr, dazu den KOReader zu installieren?

Ich überlege mir einen e-book reader zu kaufen.
Ich weiß kindl ist ungeil aber was nimmt man stattdessen?

Ich hätte gerne etwas das funktioniert und wo ich e-books von überall her drauf nutzen kann.

Ich habe zb einen Calibre-Webserver.

Seit meiner Teenagerzeit lese ich fast gar nicht mehr und würde das gerne ändern.

Cool wäre vllt wenn es einen Sync zum Hörbuch (Audiobookshelf) gäbe?!

Edit: Danke. Es ist ein Pocketbook InkPad One geworden.

If you use #CalibreWeb and are getting a database error after upgrading #Calibre, there's a temporary fix:

Just migrated this #Mastodon server's #DockerCompose setup from #DockerDesktop to #Colima. (Also migrated #CalibreWeb.) On an 8 GB RAM M2 #Mac mini with 8 cores, you need all the memory and CPU savings you can get.

https://PhoenixTrap.com #blog post to come, because I ran into #database file permission problems with the #Docker Hardened Image for #PostgeSQL 17 and had to switch to the upstream official image.
