I assumed everyone was using Calibre, but recent searches suggest that isn’t always the case

I’m just here to lurk and see what others say, as I’ve used Calibre in the past and it didn’t really do the job I was hoping it would.

Yeah, I just want something that looks good, can link works by authors and shared universes and can sync reading progress across devices.

Same. My organization scheme heavily relies on calibres custom columns and export schemas though so it would be hard for me to switch anyway.

The only 2 things I dislike about calibre are the lack of a server based version and the inability to assign a book to multiple series
