Looks for something like calibre web but not terrible
Look into Grimmory, the replacement for booklore. Apparently it’s the same maintainers just a fork since the creator of booklore closed it down (no major changes yet, just housekeeping). I’m happy with it.
I’ve tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.
+1 for audiobookshelf. my buddies and I have been using it without issue for a year or so now
Does it support epub?
Basic ebook support and ereader (epub, pdf, cbr, cbz) + send to device (i.e. Kindle)
Biggest issue is the folder/book structure is very opinionated and isn’t the easiest to work with.
Is there something specific you don’t like about Calibre Web? Might help pinpoint the recommendations.
Janky and doesn’t look nice
Well, I’m not sure what ‘janky’ encompasses for you but when you add themepark, it looks much better.
The real MVP!
…aww shucks
Calibre Web Automated is a completely different project. I am liking it so far.
Some people have also suggested Kavita.
