Papyrus - a cross-platform e-book management system
I like collecting books, both in physical and digital form, but none of the applications that I used so far to track my collections met my expectations - Calibre, Google Books, Amazon Kindle, Bookshelf, etc. Some of the main pain points for me are ugly user interface, lack of support for multiple platforms, file size limits, unsupported file formats, no ability to manage physical books and notes. I wish address these issues and add some of the more more interesting features like reading statistics, goal tracking, and potentially integrate some form of social interaction (e.g., book borrowing) and to bring this experience to the most commonly used platforms - Windows, Linux, Web, Android (including e-readers) and iOS.
Features- File uploads, metadata management and categorization (e.g., shelves, topics, tags);
- Management and progress tracking for physical books;
- Reading progress sync across devices;
- Notes and annotations;
- Full-text search;
- Reading statictics;
