kizilyildiz

Hello,

Is there any application you can suggest for book storing via ISBN etc.?

Hi kizilyildiz , I'm using GCstar since several years and very satisfied with it.

Since it's not in the Solus package library I created my local package using the Gtk3 branch. Maybe it's time to raise a package request to get it into the Solus repo?

Hi kizilyildiz

I use calibre, which is in the repo. It doesn't have the prettiest interface but it gets the job done. I usually search my library using book titles or authors' names, but calibre allows search using identifiers.

I didn't know GCstar, but judging by the screenshot above it has a nicer interface than calibre (thanks for the suggestion @palto42). However, it isn't available as a flatpak or a snap, and creating my own packages is a bit beyond me.

Best regards.

If you use calibre, I guess there should be a plugin for this somewhere on the net.

I submitted a package request for GCstar: https://dev.getsol.us/T10130

Good news: GCstar is now available in the Solus software repository 😃 🎉

I know this thread is 8 months old but I recently discovered Bookworm in repo. Modest, not flashy, and does the job.
