Library workflow

From loose files to a usable ebook library

Bookerei is built for the middle ground between a basic file viewer and a heavyweight catalog system: enough structure to keep a growing collection useful, without turning reading into database maintenance.

Import EPUB and PDF books

Add reading files to one personal library and keep both formats together instead of splitting books across folders.

Clean up covers and metadata

Fetch book information from the web, review matches, and edit covers, descriptions, authors, series, and tags.

Organize shelves visually

Create shelves for genres, research topics, authors, projects, or current reads, then add shelf images for easier browsing.

Find books fast

Search your ebook library by title, author, series, tags, and descriptions when the collection is too large to remember.

eBook organizer

A visual organizer for readers who keep coming back

Folders are fine for storage, but they are not always enough for reading. Bookerei gives you a place to track what a book is, where it belongs, what you noted, and how far you got.

  • Organize books by shelf, series, author, tag, or reading status
  • Keep notes, bookmarks, colored highlights, and progress with each book
  • Keep the library in a local folder you choose and control

One ebook library across computers

Share the library folder while Bookerei stays local

Bookerei does not operate a cloud storage service. To use the same library on multiple computers, keep its local folder inside a location synchronized by OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud Drive, Google Drive, or another desktop sync provider.

You choose the folder

The library remains a normal folder on each computer instead of being moved into a Bookerei account.

Your provider copies it

The desktop sync service you already use transfers changes between the computers you connect.

Bookerei opens it locally

Select the synchronized local folder in Bookerei on each computer and let the provider finish before switching machines.

Where it fits

Choose Bookerei when reading and organization matter most

As an EPUB manager

Use Bookerei to read EPUBs, edit book details, browse covers, save notes, highlight passages, and keep progress visible.

As a PDF library manager

Keep PDFs beside EPUBs, use shelves for study or research collections, and search metadata when titles pile up.

As a simple Calibre alternative

Pick Bookerei when you want less conversion tooling and more direct reading, organizing, annotating, and browsing.

Can Bookerei organize both EPUB and PDF files?

Yes. Bookerei can read and organize EPUB and PDF files in the same library.

Does Bookerei store my ebook library online?

Is Bookerei a Calibre alternative?

Bookerei can be a simpler Calibre alternative for readers who mainly want reading, shelves, search, notes, highlights, metadata, and a calm interface. Calibre remains a broader tool for advanced conversion and device workflows.
