It is one of the ugliest, most complex to configure, pieces of software I've ever used. It's also the best ebook management tool out there. I love Calibre.
I was planning on setting this up soon, but I heard they've been incorporating AI into it. Any reason you'd choose Calibre over Booklore?
I simply use both. New book comes in, add to Calibre to get most metadata down pat and move to my library, then gets imported into Booklore where I can easily make minor changes/fixes and that’s it. I use Booklore for reading across many of my devices.
You could get rid of Calibre in my stack, I just find it nice for local management on my host PC.
