So the obvious question, how does this compare to KOReader? That's had a long, stable life and, at first glance, seems to have the same goals. I didn't see any kind of acknowledgement or comparison in the wiki.

Gitea is FOSS under the MIT license. Is the title just phrased oddly? They do offer hosting for profit but I thought the software met the definition of FOSS.
I tried to avoid Calibre for as long as I could. In my opinion, it's way too opinionated about how everything is organized. Instead of working with you, the user, it forces you into line with how the developer thinks it should work. The developer is also kind of an ass to his community and, as a dev myself, I have some concerns over some of their choices.
All that said, I finally gave in recently and converted to Calibre because there's nothing else that works as well. It's too niche of a space for there to be much competition. To use it remotely - or, more accurately for my use, headless - the docker image I use sets up a VNC viewer to work with the application.
For actually browsing the content that Calibre organizes, I settled on Kavita. There's no competition for Calibre's organization but Kavita is easily the best content browser I've tried. If you've organized and tagged your ebooks with Calibre, it does a great job of making them available on the web and offers an OPDS server as well as the web viewer. I am more into ebooks than comics or manga but I have a few that Kavita also manages well.
I don't like this but it seems like it is an accurate application of law (IANAL), right?
The right place to fix this is in the company's policies and in the laws in the first place.
Of course, making those company policies more clear and available is important too. Even by TOS standards, I can't imagine many people have read it for their car.
I understand the frustration; almost nowhere does agile "right". However, this is a gross misrepresentation of the philosophy.
Specifically it leaves out and ignores this very important part:
That is, while there is value in the items on the right, we value the items on the left more.
As seen on agilemanifesto.org
The base philosophy is meant to remind us what we are here to do: make software (or whatever project we're working on), not become dogmatic about processes or tools or get bogged down in peripheral documentation.
It's not even a dual boot. You can enable a linux access from ChromeOS that is essentially the full install. Shell access as well as GUI apps.
I have used it with a lot of success. The initial startup of the sandbox is a bit slow and I seemed to run out of space quickly on mine but for light work it's definitely usable.
Does it require a particular folder structure? That might explain why I have trouble finding books sometimes. Kavita knows about them but search can't always find them.
Nice very solid answer. I didn't understand it was a replacement OS. Do you have a browser?
I'd love an e-reader with a browser. Nothing fancy, just something for looking up lore or related topics while reading.
Immich will be funded by an optional purchase in the near future. Since I can't find anything else, my best guess is some portion of that goes to FUTO. But it is just a guess. I also couldn't find any specifics on FUTO's funding.
Oh! I didn't know audiobookshelf could do ebooks. It doesn't look like it has an OPDS server which is my primary use case.
I've never heard of FUTO before and it sounds a little too good to be true. It looks like they have made some grants to other big projects. I like what they're saying to the point that it seems too good to be true.
Does anyone know if this is a legit organization and if it has staying power?
Either way getting further progress on Immich, hopefully moving towards real stability, is very exciting!
