README

myBookShelf

This is a Free Pascal/Lazarus project to keep all your ebooks (and pdfs) organized in an iBook like graphical interface.

Dependencies

  • Poppler utils: provides pdftoppm and pdfinfo used to extract PDF covers and metadata
  • unzip: used to read EPUB metadata from the OPF file

On Nix, these are included via the flake. Use:

  • nix develop to enter the dev shell (PATH includes poppler_utils and unzip)
  • nix run to run the packaged app (wrapper sets PATH to include these tools)

On Debian/Ubuntu:

  • sudo apt-get install poppler-utils unzip

On Fedora:

  • sudo dnf install poppler-utils unzip

On Arch:

  • sudo pacman -S poppler unzip

Logging

  • The app writes a debug log to your user config directory: mybookshelf.log.
  • Typical path on Linux: ~/.config/myBookShelf/mybookshelf.log.
  • It records metadata extraction calls (pdfinfo/unzip) and cover generation calls (pdftoppm) with command lines, exit codes, and parsing results.
  • If covers/metadata still don’t work, please attach this log when filing an issue.
