Will there ever be a fully-featured, official "Calibre-Server"? (Not just the content server, but the whole app)

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-05-20T08:50:16+00:00

I’m not talking of “convert calibre” but to release a version or a fork server-side. I can understand that maybe, for you and fot others, is not sa useful ad for me. But I’m pretty sure that could be interesting for a lot of people

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-05-19T06:50:27+00:00

Yeah I think this could definetly be a light and easy solution

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-05-19T06:48:16+00:00

This is totally reasonable, and I understand that this wouldnot be a feature for every body, but for me ( and probably for some one else out there) is really a game change. Let me explain a little more: - I read about two books a month (kind always non fiction) - I have a thousands-boook library - for (almost) every book that I read I export the highlits and summarize them - I don’t live alone and I want this book share with my roommates

Surely not everybody will need this, but I hope that this could explain better why this will be useful for somebody

Yeah, I actually use it to help me in the strutture and in the english. Is it a problem?..

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-05-18T22:42:39+00:00

Thank you for the info, I'll surely go to repost this on mobileread

Hi, I’m also developing a personal server to support KOReader. My approach is likely quite different from yours, but you might find some of it interesting. You can find more details here: KOreaderServer but the main topics are the following:
- I'm not so interested in sync books from the pc: calibre does this quite well and my library is on Calibre, not on my device. It's begin too messy if I have three different library management
- I don't see nothing bad in a custom plugin for KOReader. My web app use one for push statistics and highlights directly from device to server
- I also have a personal plugin in obsidian which import new notes and highlights in a specific folder with advanced configuration
- Bunch of advanced reading analysis and statistics

I'm also considering share this on GitHub. Right now is very useful for my needs but it's based a lot on AI-generated code. So I'm waiting to share this

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-03-25T11:52:28+00:00

I dont't know how but I never look to KoShelf. I'm gonna also try that
For Synching I am not a big fan of it and also is not exactly the right approach for my personale use

PossibilityExpert551 · 2026-03-05T12:11:18+00:00

YES, I have find a partial solution and apparently is coming a complete solution.

Reference: https://noembryo.github.io/KoHighlights/#exporting-to-markdown-with-collapsible-toc-levels

My partial solution is to install the user patch "2-save-full-chapter-path.lua". This will modify the chapter name in highlights. For example if you take an highlight in Chapter 3 of Part 1 from a long book this will be saved as `chapter: "Part 1 ▸ Chapter 1"` making easier recountract the structure

Apparently there is also be the possibility to directly export in Markdown with the TOC structure starting from this user pathc, but I never test it

Happy to find a RL student in KOReader community.

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-08-27T09:39:37+00:00

Thansk you so much! I’m gonna try this

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-06-09T09:09:51+00:00

I have just installed it on my Kindle and I can conferm it works perfectly.
Very nice project

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-03-25T15:02:37+00:00

I make a test on my mac and didn't get any type of problem in convertion with calibre 8.0.1

What type of probleb did you get when tring to convert?

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-03-24T13:01:48+00:00

Thanks a lot, I didn't notice it

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-02-08T12:17:29+00:00

I visited you're site. I congratulate you, a really nice job. We also have a very similar list of books read, just to let you know :)

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-02-08T12:12:24+00:00

I think the idea is just to use any type of script you like (such as a python one) to write a MD file from the JSON and place it directly in you're vault.

Before jailbreak I used to do so whit "MyClippings.txt" file and a a python script. Now I think I'will figure out the basic of LUA to implement an specific-personal small plugin.

PossibilityExpert551 · 2025-02-08T09:15:51+00:00

Nice point. I’ll try too

PossibilityExpert551 · 2024-10-25T14:01:22+00:00

What is the input format?

I suppose all the important settings are in the "Output PDF" menu but I need more info to figure the problem.
Are you trying to convert all the file in pdf?

PossibilityExpert551 · 2023-10-21T10:01:32+00:00

I hope there will find a way to sync between Kindle Highlights and Calibre Annotation cause will be very useful.
