Hi, I’m searching something for manga/books.
I’m currently use jellyfin, but I don’t really like it (to import metadata it’s very complex and mechanic thing), there are some good alternatives?
Which OS?
On Android, Moon+ Reader is pretty good.
My wife uses the Amazon Kindle app on her Android tablet. You can use it for non-Kindle books by sending an email to a special email address for your Kindle account: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/email.
Calibre is useful for this. It shows an easy to use “send to Kindle” button, and can convert books in ePub, mobi, etc formats to the format that works best in the Kindle app (AZW3).
If you want a web interface for Calibre (eg to run on a home server and download books when you’re away from your computer), Calibre-web works well.
Moon Readers cloud sync is amazing if you read from multiple devices. I think they recently added book syncing too.
The problem with the send to Kindle option is email attachment size limit. For books it’s fine but manga and comics are usually too big.
My Kindle is old enough that I was able to jailbreak it and install KOReader so I can just download from my Calibre server directly via OPDS. Otherwise if it’s too big for email you’ll have to do it over USB I think.
Komga is what I use, really like it to read my mangas ☺️
For metadata editing you can use Comictagger
It writes the metadata to the files and has online database support
Mihon which is a fork of tachyiomy (they took a dmca). Best app for mangas and webtoons.
Have you checked out Calibre? It seems to be what that does.
There is Komikku for linux though it’s kinda limited to sources it supports. Komga is a nice self hosted option with support for Mihon and all the tachiyomi forks for android. There is a tachiyomi fork called Komikku (different from the linux app) that I like.
My wife uses Chunky on her iPad and it works pretty well.
Easy enough to add a network folder as a file source.
