About this app
Bookshelf is a self-hosted web application designed for the ebooks you already own. It runs as a Cloudflare Worker over R2 storage or as a Node server over a local folder, requiring no external database. Users can upload and manage EPUB and PDFs, read them directly in any browser, or access them via an OPDS catalog on e-reader devices like Kobo. It includes cover generation, profile switching, and reading position synchronization. Note that it lacks built-in authentication, so it is intended for trusted networks or behind a reverse proxy.
