Doesn’t sound very ESG. What is rocket fuel in digital library contexts, and why is rocketing desirable to feature in a digital bookshelf’s heading blurb?
This and Calibre seems focused on ebooks, rather than on documents.
My hack for reading Manga is to pack them up into a PDF and download them to a tablet where I can read them unconnected.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
> Kavita means poem or poetry in Sanskrit and pretty much all Indic languages. Interestingly, in Semitic languages Kavita means writing or written things.
In case anyone else is confused: in Sanskrit it's Ka-vi-ta (it seems), in Semitic (at least Hebrew), it's k-ti-va. So quite different.
Looks like a Plex for all kinds of books? Neat idea by the looks of it.
So you can only read while at home, unless I misunderstood something.
Dunno. My hack for reading Manga is to pack them up into a PDF and download them to a tablet where I can read them unconnected.
Speaking of libraries, does anyone know a minimalist amateur library software a hackerspace could use? We currently only have a few books, but the list could as well grow and it would be nice to have a webpage that would help us track who brought / borrowed what.
a spreadsheet. no really. until you have >1000s of books, a spreadsheet will have all you need
Is there any Document Management System with good search/indexing capabilities, versioning and format conversation features that is targeted for personal use by individuals? This and Calibre seems focused on ebooks, rather than on documents.
Looks nice, I've been rolling my own simple version of something similar because none of the existing solutions supported my main use case, which is to convert format on the fly for the target device (a la Plex) In case you need ideas for future features :)
I'm curious how you achieve this? Is it similar to Calibre-web's Send to device? Or did you code the conversions yourself (or are you using an external service) and emailing the file? Are you also providing the reading experience or sending the converted file raw to use in another program's reader?
This works particularly well from Kindle, so I never have to connect it to a computer, and I don't have any email size limit which is quite easy to go over with comics

I think you're looking for something like paperless-ng. https://github.com/jonaswinkler/paperless-ng
Something like Xerox Docushare but only for ones own private documents.
