I recently updated my kobo devices and saw that there’s a Google drive option now for storing books elsewhere, for the time being I’ve just been using calibre and moving files over myself, would there be any concerns to host non drm ebooks from mam on a Google drive if I’m only sharing it with like one person.

Cheers^^

do you get any benefits from using callibre instead of just copying the files in a folder ? I used to do it but found it way more convenient to just copy them directly since callibre doesn’t create collections

Series folders are a big one for me but just having organisation is quite nice, I’ve had some issues with my e-readers sometimes where the database gets corrupted but in calibre I can backup the database.

I just think it’s neat

Automatic conversion to Kepub is a benefit Calibre has, but the same thing can be done by running Kepubify before copying the files manually.

ah, never really needed since I read mostly manga, I just convert all the pages to the right resolution and put them in a cbz

I’ve been pretty lucky with finding what I need already in cbz but I do like just looking through a library with covers, just like qol things.

Being able to pick the covers so it displays nicely on the e-reader as well ^^
