    Well, “logical” is a bit of a stretch. After my second or third round of trying to use it for all my DRM-free ebooks I was quickly reminded that a) it insists on copying all your books into a separate folder for some reason, and b) its reading UX is atrocious. The thing is unreadable on my tablet by default and it won’t even try with comics, instead just prompting you for an actually usable app to do the reading part.

    I am sure it was made to deal with a legitimate use case, but man, is it not my use case. Which, to reiterate, is I own a bunch of ebooks and comics and want to read them sometimes.

    I hear their selfhosted web app may be better at this, and I’ve also taken a peek at kavita, I’ve just been too annoyed by having to go point a docker container at my library when the books are just sitting there and I can just open them. It really feels like it should be more straightforward and convenient than that.
