Hi,
I want to create a cloud library of my eBooks based on my Calibre library.
I found this post:
http://dearauthor.com/ebooks/create-...-opds-dropbox/
And since my library is pretty big opted to try using Copy instead of Dropbox (
https://www.copy.com/).
My first problem is that it doesn't seem to work using Copy, perhaps because the files aren't accessible/readable in the same way files are from Dropbox.
But through researching this process, I have come upon a lot of discussion about the problems of having copyrighted material being on Dropbox, since this method involves the eBook library being exposed to the public (albeit hidden to an extent).
Just to clarify, I am only talking about hosting books that I personally and officially own, but I have heard that it makes no difference – the fact that they are technically open to the public means it is a breach of copyright, and fair enough.
What I want to know is how to create an OPDS catalogue that is password protected, and what iOS app I can use to access it?
I'd rather not get into the complexities of setting up a bespoke web server and having to fanangle all sorts of PHP code to make this happen, so wondering if there is a relatively easy way to do this.
To clarify, what I want:
– An online/cloud version of my eBook library in OPDS catalogue form for browsing, that is password protected so as to avoid copyright infringement
– An app for my iPad that is able to access and download from this catalogue
All thoughts and help much appreciated!
