Bookie+

A self-hosted ebook manager built for simplicity. Organize your library, fetch metadata, and send books directly to your eReader.

I have added the ability to host audiobooks, and the ability to listen to audiobooks and read the ebooks from the interface.

This project is built with Claude and Gemini.

Features

Library Management

• Multi-format support:
  • Ebooks/Documents: EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW, AZW3, FB2, DJVU, CBZ, CBR, and TXT
  • Audiobooks: MP3, M4B, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, WMA, and OPUS
• Automatic metadata fetching from Open Library, Apple Books, and Goodreads (with resilient individual entry parsing)
• Cover extraction, search, and direct embedding into EPUB files
• Series tracking and tagging (think shelves, minus the complexity)

• Clean Author Names: Bulk-format author metadata written as Lastname, Firstname to Firstname Lastname with automatic file re-organization on disk

Organization & Reading

• Configurable file rename schemes and folder structures, plus a button to open the book.
• Embedded Ebook Reader: Support reading EPUB and PDF files directly from the browser (fully offline-ready with local PDF.js worker)

Note

When migrating from a different solution, it is recommended you import your books into Bookie+ to ensure proper metadata management.
