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?

I'm not into ebooks that much and don't have experience with them. I still prefer paper. I've just been totally put off by all the bad stuff I've read about DRM etc. Is it really a problem and how do these tools that you mention above cope with them. I'm one of those that often annotates with pencil in the books I read. Can you annotate DRM protected content with Open Source tools?

On DRM you have a few choices, find a site that doesn't use it, sail the high seas, or this tool called DeDRM

Hope this helps!
