#12Calibre is awesome to use on desktop. But as someone who wants to sync his Calibre library with other devices (iphone + ipad), it gets really frustrating.
Do you want to sync the whole library with the iphone or just search and download from the iphone? Calibre can be used to just transfer a few books by installing the calibre app on the phone and select books on the computer to transfer. There are also solutions for searching and downloading books from the phone but I haven't tried them much, found it much easier to use the computer to do that.
I can't fit my library on the phone so haven't even thought of syncing the whole thing.

I use dropbox for syncing. I point my calibre library to the dropbox folder, and in my ipad I open the dropbox app and "share" the book I want to read to the Books app.

The Calibre Sync app for iOS is pretty good.

The calibre manual warns against using dropbox on the main library folder, users have lost their complete libraray doing that. Might want to at least pause dropbox while running calibre.

#16This is timely, I was looking for builds I could use on my Raspberry Pi yesterday. Thanks!
Note: I'm not seeing the release available on the website, but it's available in the Github repo.

#17Magical piece of software. I don't know how Android has couple of good e-readers but desktop only has Calibre.
Foliate on desktop is one of the best readers I've used. You can get Calibre to open books in Foliate instead of the internal viewer

#18> Fortunately, plugin developers were given over half a year to port their plugins, so most have already been ported.
I do admire this optimism and good faith. But no... many will not have ported until users start complaining that X plugin no longer works. Expect a few more months.

Didn't know that, thanks for the heads up! I backup my data periodically so I'm not worried as much.

#20The negative news is that you need at least mac os 10.15.
