Run then the calibre-server command followed by the path to the Calibre library: calibre-server -with-library=/home/pi/calibre Next, install Calibre on Raspberry Pi using the following command: sudo apt-get update & sudo apt-get install calibre Copy then the library to your Raspberry Pi (e.g., ~/pi/calibre). And since a fairly recent version of Calibre is available in the Raspbian software repository, this project can be done in a few simple steps.īecause Calibre doesn't allow you to create libraries and populate them with ebooks from the command line, you need to do this using Calibre on your regular machine. To publish your ebook library, you can turn Raspberry Pi into a little headless Calibre server.

In practical terms, this means that you can publish your ebook library on the web and access all your ebooks from any machine using a browser. You can use it as a regular desktop application for reading and organizing ebooks, but Calibre also features a built-in server for sharing ebooks on the web.

There is probably no better tool for managing, converting, and sharing ebooks than Calibre.
