@meeera That looks intriguing, thanks. The price tag of the standard edition is perfectly in my ballpark. And not only don't I need any of the other features, I explicitly do not want any software that forces "AI" on me and stuff
I am only a bit concerned about the closed eco system, so still no final decision.
Tended to lean towards Calibre. But maybe since the PDFs won't go on my reader, anyway ...
I just fear I will clutter my library and the carefully created Genre tags etc. if I throw dozens of times more PDFs in there than I have books.
I guess I'll have to make the effort to install Calibre Web and then compare it with that other self hosted "I Librarian" solution.
Thanks for the suggestion.
