## What it is
Olib is a free, open-source cross-platform desktop e-book client built with Tauri 2 (Rust backend + React/TypeScript frontend). It provides book search, multi-threaded downloads via aria2, a local bookshelf, multi-account and multi-mirror management, and LAN sharing with OPDS support.

## Use cases
- search and download books from external sources
- manage a local ebook library and bookshelf
- share my ebook collection over LAN to KOReader via OPDS
- download books with resume support using aria2
- read books on PC without ads or subscriptions
- switch between multiple book source accounts and mirrors

## When to choose
- you want a free, ad-free desktop client for searching and downloading e-books
- you need OPDS/LAN sharing to read on e-readers like KOReader
- you want a polished Fluent-style Windows 11 native-feeling UI
- you prefer open-source software with active releases

## When to avoid
- you want to build from source out of the box - the data-source API module is private and not included in the repo
- you need an official or legally sanctioned bookstore client
- you need mobile or web access - it is a desktop application only
- you require guaranteed availability of book sources, which are external and outside the project's control
