(taken from the author's site) + +In my opinion Calibre is a marvelous tool but is too big and has too much +dependencies to be used for its content server. + +That's the main reason why I coded this OPDS server. I needed a simple +tool to be installed on a small server (Seagate Dockstar in my case). + +I initially thought of Calibre2OPDS but as it generate static file no +search was possible. + +Later I added an simple HTML catalog that should be usable on my Kobo. + +So COPS's main advantages are : + * No need for many dependencies. + * No need for a lot of CPU or RAM. + * Not much code. + * Search is available. + * With Dropbox / owncloud it's very easy to have an up to date OPDS server. + * It was fun to code. + +If you want to use the OPDS feed don't forget to specify /feed at the end of your URL." ---
