COPS is a light alternative to Calibre content server / Calibre2OPDS.
It serves ebooks (epub, mobi, pdf and other formats).
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- HTML5 / CSS3 interface with responsive design.
- Multiple Calibre database support in a single COPS install.
- Epub metadata update like Calibre Content Server (enable it with $config[‘cops_update_epub-metadata’]) : If you fixed the author name / a tag / the serie name of a book in Calibre, then the epub you’ll download with COPS will contain the fix.
- Calibre custom columns.
- Facets in the OPDS feed to filter book list (the only OPDS clients supporting it are Mantano Reader and Bluefire for now).
- Multilanguage support: Catalan, Czech, German, English, Spanish, Basque, French, Haitian (Creole), Hungarian, Italian, Norwegian Bokmål, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish, Ukrainian, Chinese.
