ELib is an application for organizing ebook files on a computer. It's created using .NET 6 and WPF. The idea is to have a basic ebook manager, sort of like a dumbed down version of Calibre.
Features:
- Organizing books by authors, series
- Adding books to custom collections
- Filtering and sorting of specific book views
- Parsing ebook files for metadata to speed up importing
- Using Google Books API to fetch book info based on ISBN number
- Export books in organized hierarchy and file names
- Mark books as Read or Favorite
- Specify external reader
The project uses SQLite database for saving book info and relationships. Access to database is done with a generic repository pattern using Dapper. The application features a custom Window header, and the user interface is done with custom WPF user controls using Model-View-ViewModel pattern, designed to look modern and functional. The app also supports keyboard navigation for the most part.
The app development is still in progress but here are some current screenshots:
