Title: Booklore is the Plex of self hosted e-book libraries, but is sadly irrelevent when DRM free e-books are so hard to obtain legally

Booklore is the Plex or Immich of e-books. A beautiful, self-hosted way to manage and read your own e-book library. But while movies are easy to rip from physical media we own, it's a lot harder to do the same for a book, making Booklore a pipe dream rather than a reality for those wanting to operate on the right side of the law.

This looks very similar to calibre-web. Interesting to see if it's any better or just another option.

Irrelevant? It's fantastic. They won't give you DRM free e-books? Just take em'.

Removing drm from files is an issue unrelated to booklore. Audiobookshelf is the same-you use another app if you want to play your audible purchases where you want.

Drm hacking is a problem created by amazon, it should not be the central feature in a good media management app.
