[dolbyman]

still no such app .. so there won't be a name

if you insist you need to read ebooks on your NAS, open a feature request via ticket

hm i found this.

a docker app you can use via container station

Calibre-web is a web app providing a clean interface for browsing, reading and downloading eBooks using an existing Calibre database. It is also possible to integrate google drive and edit metadata and your calibre library through the app itself.

you would need to install it via container station, then access it via the app URL. in HDstation you can access browser, so i'm guessing you input the app url there and you should be able to view ebooks with it

calibre-web looks like this. the interface is pretty good

alternatively there may be a calibre qpkg either in appcenter or on qnapclub.eu

the qpkg which is a dependency of hd station means, you connect the QNAP to your monitor via HDMI to then access hdstation, then browse to the qpkg app, and then you can browse your ebooks.

problem solved
