>still no alternative
why? i refuse to use any software made by a jeet
>>
Thorium is a good alternative
>>
>made by a jeet
a jeet named Covid Goyim, nonetheless

docker pull calibre-web:latest
you're welcome
>>
>>108545584
you are using jeet software right now

>another epub reader
None of the alternatives do what people use Calibre for, which is taking a ton of ebooks in differing formats (and your RSS feeds) and safely and reliably uploading them to a kindle.
>>
>>108545584
try zotero.
>>
What specifically do you want it to do?
It has like a million bloat features, so if you can specify the subset of those you actually want, people can almost certainly answer for you. It does nothing unique. It just does a lot and has name recognition among low- to mid-tier technology users.

Koodoo Reader. It supports multiple formats, it's available on every platform. I don't see the reason to use bloated software from decades ago.
>>
Vibecode a based cli version written in go
>>
i don't like calibre. for some reason it feels bloated. i use foliate currently, but it also sucks, but for different reasons.
>>
thing is you don't need one alternative, you need at least five for all the stuff calibre does.

>>108551851
Zotero is pretty good. I use it for papers and webpages.
Unfortunately it's got tons of features I don't need and it's super slow on shitty hardware (like my fileserver)
>>
If file managers could search and edit metadata for epubs and pdfs there would be no need for calibre... Only a viewer for the filetype
>>
>>108554762
Searching is already possible to a degree.
>>
>>108545584
Booklore is OK but it's pretty bloated
>>
>>108545604
Isn't Thorium just a reader?
>>
>>108545607
That's how you know the software has that chutzpah.
>>
>>108545584
I want to read manuals but change their fonts when reading them, is there any program thatll do that?
>>
>>108545584
>i refuse to use any software
lol good luck anon
>>
>>108545607
>>108555994
you retards make me laugh I wont deny it
>>
>>108545584
SumatraPDF reads EPUB files.
>>
>>108545584
can jeets make software, any software? Not so, according to github. Jeet contributions are non-existant. They also do not share their shitty software.
>>
>>108553154
koodo reader only send to kindle through email doesnt do management on the device like calibre can and doesn't automatically convert to format the kindle can use if your ebook is not supported
>>
>>108545584
Use YACR.
>>
>>108559032
Only a turbo retard would use something as bloated as Calibre as just an epub reader
>>
>have e-ink reader
>transfer books I pirate from libgen to e-ink reader using USB cable
>read books on e-ink reader
What is the use case for Calibre?
