I’ve completely re-written QuietThyme with these features at it’s core. I’ve spending years searching for an alternative since I shut down QuietThyme, but I’ve grown impatient. I’ve kept hoping that someone else would come up with a viable alternative, and I could just pay them. Its been almost 4 years since I shut down my cloud ebook manager startup which had almost all of these features. I don’t think its something my Mom would be able to setup. I don’t want to manage updates on an always-on server. I don’t want to open up ports on my home router. Its incredibly powerful, and I should be able to import/export/manage my cloud library from Calibre, just like I would a physical ebook reader.īefore you start mentioning Calibre Web Server, stop. Calibre is the standard ebook manager for good reason. I want something simple to use, that works with little to no configuration. While I love the customizability and power of Calibre, it can be a little much, especially for my Mom and Dad. When I add a book to the library it should get the books’ metadata automatically.
If my ebook is missing cover art or metadata I’m less likely to read it or even remember what it’s about. Integrate with my cloud storage provider. I should be a able to drag and drop my library into a Dropbox folder and have them magically show up in my library. I don’t want to upload my books individually. I want to store my books on a cloud storage platform that I already trust, like Dropbox or Google Drive. I want to have control of my books not learn to trust yet another cloud storage platform that may not be around in a couple of months/years.I mostly end up reading books when I’m traveling/on flights, and being able to access my library on the go is a necessity. I want my books stored in the cloud somewhere, and always available. Menu State of the eBook ecosystem Quietthyme,
