Has anybody experienced with running calibre-web + kavita (or another combination of ebook oriented services) combined? I'm asking because none seem to be the definite winner (calibre is fugly, but you can upload books, kavita is nice but opinionated, etc). Any experience on that regard?

Jesus fuck. I have been looking for something like Kavita for so long now, specifically because of the issues you outlined with Calibre wanting to duplicate my library. I have thousands to tens of thousands of PDFs I’ve needed to get organized for so long and duplicating it all is not feasible (plus Calibre’s interface just looks 20 years out of date). I just got Kavita loaded and scanning my library and my initial impression is that this will do everything I’ve been wanting for so long. Thanks for the tip!
