After downloading, I flashed the image to a 32GB MicroSD card using BalenaEtcher and then edit the network-config (in the root of system-boot partition) to add WIFI name and password for connection. I used the 32 bit Ubuntu 20.04 Server image for Rpi 3. I used Calibre in the past and it can satisfy my needs. However, this will take up spaces on our device and downloading takes time as well. Although I have the powerful RPi 4 but my 3 A+ has been sleeping in the gaming case for a long time, maybe it’s time to wake her up.įor the management system, of course we can use cloud storage (eg Google Drive) and install an ereader app on terminal devices. The Raspberry Pi is good for this purpose.

If you do not specify any paths, all the libraries that the main calibre program knows about will be used. You can specify the path to the library folders as arguments to calibre-server. I think it might be a good idea to build a home ebook library so that I can access the contents from different devices, e.g. The calibre Content server exposes your calibre libraries over the internet.

In addition, some friends shared with me kid books in various format (pdf, epub, mobi etc) and it’s simply too many to import them to iPad or Android tablet.

Today I accidently found that there are a collection of eBooks laying in my hard drive, that I barely read.
