Calibre is a fantastic peice of software. Buuut...
I'm surprised people still use it so much. With server software that does mostly the same thing for general use cases (even Calibre-web, but more Kavita and the like), I can't imagine so many people using a desktop tool. Is it habit?
I can't speak for everyone, but something like Kavita would be overkill for me. I just use calibre to remove drm, and keep a backup in case my ereader dies.
