Haha, you'd be surprised, it's not brought up that much. It's more about me wanting to build something that has A+ support on sync and fits within the UX I like.

Yeah I'm not sure since I don't use tachiyomi, but when things don't work as expected, I would encourage you to raise a ticket. That way the dev (of the tachiyomi plugin) can investigate.

Haha I've said this myself many times as well, but you can't just write an opf editor, otherwise you already have Sigil. You have to have metadata scraping and that just adds complexity.

Hope you do write one because we all need it.

For the first one, there is actually a discussion about the whole loose leaf image feature:
https://github.com/Kareadita/Kavita/issues/2154

Not sure without more information. Kavita has a Media tab now that will tell you when epubs don't import (almost always due to bad internal structural metadata). A quick pass through Calibre or Sigil fixes it.

Not sure from tone of voice if you use Kavita or not, but if you do, sounds like you should voice your opinion on that discussion on the feature as I'll be making my decision soon on it.

Really? I'll have to investigate this further. I've been looking at ways to interact with Goodreads, but due to lack of API, only scraping methods are there, which are subpar.

Thanks!

Please through up some feature requests (highlighting is an existing one). Otherwise, it wont happen as I look at the feature requests site each release to pick a few that make sense to me or the community wants.

No. Tachiyomi uses the API directly, but has some hacks in the code, because of Tachiyomi's architecture. Chapter 0 of a volume means the whole volume is represented in that one file. So if you read it in Tachiyomi, then you'd expect the whole volume to be read in Kavita.

Flattening is where if you have just loose leaf chapters and no volume, Kavita would originally serve as the DB ordered it, so you'd have to click through a pointless Volume 0. Now, everything is put in one and minimized as much as possible to get you to your media as quick as possible.

What is this goodreads bookshelf in Readarr?

f there's a method to edit the Metadata of the epub and write it back to the file that I haven't found that would be great.

I got you. We have a wiki article just for this thing:

Yeah, those kindle-like devices really suck in that there is no way to load a modern website on them, you have to maintain a non-modern javascript app. It's just a ton of maintenance and extra testing that I'd have to do to support them. I haven't found the email service to be that bad, but agree, the extra step is annoying.

Phone app is coming for sure. It's always been in my vision for the software because I got to have a better Sync support than Plex. I've been hinting at it in my past 4 release notes, basically this 0.7.x are all massive foundational changes that are required before I can even think about starting on mobile development.

Just know it is not a metadata editor, like Calibre. It's focused on Exploration of your media and consumption. You'll still need to boot up Calibre to get the metadata into your epubs.

I never read on my PC personally. The app is more aimed for using on your tablet. Kindle isn't trivial because it doesn't support modern js. So it's not really feasible, hence why we allow you to setup a Kindle on your account and then send files directly to it (or other devices/email).
