How to create customised library

sahuajeet · 12-24-2012, 01:56 PM

I am working for an organisation having public dealing. The organisation has lot of literature to offer. Now for benefit of all I have developed all the document in ePub format with help of calibre. Now I require help in following:
1. How can I upload all the content online in a customised form with exclusive web address/ folder for the content. Content need to be subdivided in various folders sub folders. Is there any open source customised library available? Content will be made available freely.
2 . For it's use how can I get the ebook reader applications developed.? Is calibre reader available across the platform I.e. iOS, Symbion, Windows and android? I want customised application for the library.

The content would require regular updating from the creator.
Kl suggest me. I'm not a technical person but developed understanding of ebooks by doing it myself.
Thanks in advance.

I suggest you check out Calibr2OPDS.

I would recommend that you leave the choice of ebook reader software to the end users. You could perhaps make a few suggestions for different platforms. There are plenty of good free programs and apps. Calibre is a great program in many ways, but much too complex if only a reader is needed.

Even though I dislike the PDF format, perhaps that format would be better for your purposes? Your normal format could be EPUB, but to make things easier for the end users you could use PDF as well. It is quite easy to go from EPUB to PDF. But not from PDF to anything else... So make sure to keep the EPUB format as your main format.
