I’m running calibre in a docker container, and have 3-4 libraries setup. I am able to access them all through the built in web service. I know it’s not the same as calibre-web but just want to point this out.
I can’t compare the reading options between the two though, having only tried the one option myself.
I deleted my accounts earlier this week (before the AMA). I decided I could just make a new one in the future if that ever was a thing, and I’d rather not contribute to their line charts of “active users”, and rather would appear on those for “accounts deleted in the last 30 days”.
For me it was a symbolic reminder that I don’t want to lurk there and deleting my account was an action I remember. I hope they follow the direction of Twitter and Instagram by making the platform unusable without an account, further cementing more barriers for me.
