eBooks

eBooks are managed by the Docs module, where they can be browsed, filtered by author and subject, searched, and read directly in the browser with the built-in EPUB reader.

Epub files are desired as ebooks, though some support for Mobi files is provided. Reasons why WROLPi prefers Epub:

  • Epub files are simple. An Epub file is a zip file containing HTML files.
  • Third-party support for reading Epubs is much more feature-rich.
  • Images are files in the Epub zip.
  • Device support for Epubs is nearly ubiquitous.
  • Because an Epub contains HTML files, it makes it easy to display them in a web browser.

Cover images are detected automatically — including Calibre-style directories with a cover.jpg — see Cover Images.

Searching

When indexes for an eBook are generated, they are searched in the following order of precedence:

  1. Title
  2. Author
  3. File name
  4. eBook contents
