Calibre-Web - Kindle friendly browser interface #2723
Comments
Update: went with COPS (https://github.com/seblucas/cops) for now as I could not find a simple web interface for the kindle through calibre-web. Would be great to see something similar in calibre-web in the future. |
+1 on a kindle friendly version. |

If anyone who commented on this thread wants to try out an option, this PR has a small modification. If you want to try it out there are two options to run it:
Once it is running, visit localhost:8083/basic and you should get the usual login prompt, followed by the super basic view. |
Hi @carderne Is it possible to add the the book cover pic? |
Yes I can experiment with that, a small-ish image should be no problem. Will update here when I get to it. |
@pnatel
Give it a go by running the new Docker image carderne/calibre-web:0.6.21-2. Or pull my repo carderne/calibre-web and do it manually. |
Thanks, @carderne, home pagetap to searchBook details |
Just mentioning here that these issues were resolved in |
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I currently use calibre and the included calibre content server on a windows machine to allow the various kindle devices in my house to directly download ebooks using the kindle web browser and access the non java page of the calibre server (/mobile).
The formatting of the mobile page works great for the kindle.
I'm now experimenting with calibre-web running in a docker container. it works great but accessing content via the kindle browser is way more troublesome than calibre server as the GUI of calibre-web does not format well on the kindle (way to small fonts, full calibre-web function etc) making downloads a bit cumbersome.
Describe the solution you'd like
I might be missing something but it would be great to have a calibre server (mobile version) type of interface option for calibre web to allow easier content download utilizing the kindle browser.
Describe alternatives you've considered
There is a calibre docker container which runs the standard calibre SW but it only works with a number of workarounds (e.g. the entire server needs to be restarted each time new books are added from remote calibre instances.
Thanks !
