Calibre-Web-Companion

I initially created Calibre-Web-Companion as a personal side project, since I love reading books and wanted a mobile app to access my Calibre Web (Automated) server. Once I had developed the first version, I published it on GitHub and shared it on Reddit. I was surprised by the positive reception and growing user base, which motivated me to continue improving the app and adding new features. This project has been a valuable learning experience, enabling me to explore mobile development with Flutter while contributing to the open-source community.

Calibre-Web-Companion is an unofficial companion application for Calibre Web (which also works for Calibre Web Automated) which allows you to browse your book collection and download books directly to your device. You can also interact with your books by marking them as read, unread or bookmarked. It is also possible to send books directly to your e-reader (Kindle/Kobo) thanks to the great work of send2ereader.
