3.39.1 has a basic web interface, yes. I can edit individual books, one at a time. However, this is painstakingly slow: tap edit book, tap item to edit, type, save, tap data to edit, type, save, apply changes, back to library, tap next book, tap edit book, tap item to edit, type...... Much easier to edit multiple books at once in the GUI.

I suggest using archlinuxarm.
I understand that's what you'd like. I hear you. For me it is a matter of time and mental energy investment: I am familiar with ubuntu/debian (which is what the Raspberry Pi OS is bas on), I am not familiar with ArchLinux.

So, do I attempt to learn a new application (calibre-server) and all it's own foibles, on a OS that i'm comfortable with, or do I attempt to learn a new application and all it's foibles on a completely-new-to-me operating system that I need to learn it's own foibles at the same time?

Currently, I've opted to try to stay on the operating system I'm comfortable with. I appreciate your responses.
