Books keeps ebooks and audiobooks on separate shelves and in separate configured folders.
Metadata and covers
Use Edit on a shelf item to change its display title, author, subjects, series, volume, collection membership, and cover art. Books reads available EPUB or catalog metadata first and preserves your custom values.
Find and group books
For libraries over 12 items, shelf controls can filter by text, author, subject, series, and progress, and sort by title or date added. Collections creates virtual groups without moving or duplicating the underlying files. A book can belong to more than one collection.
Audiobooks and Notebook
The audiobook player remembers chapter, position, and playback rate and offers skip controls, speeds from 0.75× to 2×, a chapter list, and sleep timers. Notebook collects EPUB notes, bookmarks, and highlights.
Other readers
Books can publish your ebook shelf through an authenticated OPDS catalog for use with compatible ebook readers.
In Books → Settings, create a separate reader access key for each OPDS app or device you want to connect. Use the OPDS catalog URL shown there together with that access key.
The catalog includes supported ebook files from your configured Books folder. Audiobooks are not included. Reading position, notes, bookmarks, and annotations in an external reader do not sync back to LightDrive.
OPDS access is limited to the ebook catalog and the books available through it. A reader access key does not provide general access to your LightDrive files.
Books stored inside subfolders are not currently included in the OPDS catalog.
If you stop using a reader, revoke its access key in Books settings.
