eBouquin
Convert & Send for Calibre
eBouquin is a beautifully native, Calibre-compatible ebook library manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac. Open your existing Calibre library exactly as it is — the same per-book folders and metadata.db — then organize it in a fast cover grid, convert between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and PDF, and send books straight to your Kindle. No account, no proprietary format, no lock-in; your library files never leave your devices.
Key Features
- Opens your existing Calibre library (per-book folders + metadata.db) from local storage or iCloud Drive — reads and writes the standard format with no import, migration or lock-in
- Organize in a fast cover grid: edit rich metadata, tag books, build collections, mirror Calibre custom columns, and create smart shelves (saved searches) that update themselves
- Convert between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and PDF with sensible defaults, including batch conversion of a whole selection in one step
- Send any book to your Kindle email address or a connected device, bulk-send a stack at once, and track everything in the outbox
About eBouquin
eBouquin is a native, Calibre-compatible ebook library manager for iPhone, iPad and Mac, built for people who own their books and want a calm, fast home for them. It opens an existing Calibre library exactly as it is — the same per-book folders, the same metadata.db database — reads and writes that standard format faithfully, and never gets in your way. There is no import step and no proprietary container: point eBouquin at a library on your device or in iCloud Drive and it is simply there.
The app does three things well. It organizes: a fast, gorgeous cover grid where you edit rich metadata — title, author, series, publisher, rating, identifiers, comments and cover art — tag books, build collections, mirror Calibre’s custom columns, and create smart shelves (saved searches) that keep themselves up to date. It converts between EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and PDF with sensible defaults and no confusing knobs, including batch conversion of a whole selection in one step. And it sends any book straight to a Kindle email address or a connected device, bulk-sending a stack and tracking each one in the outbox.
Because eBouquin reads and writes the standard Calibre library format, there is no conversion, no migration and no lock-in. You can keep using Calibre on the desktop and eBouquin on your Apple devices against the same library, or walk away at any time. Preferences sync privately over iCloud, while your library files stay wherever you put them and are never uploaded to the developer.
Who is eBouquin for?
- Readers with an existing Calibre library who want to open and manage it natively on iPhone, iPad or Mac
- Kindle owners who need to convert books to a compatible format and send them by email in a couple of taps
- People who own DRM-free ebooks and want a real home for the files they already have
- Mac and iPhone or iPad users who want the same library, organized the same way, on every device
- Anyone who wants a capable ebook manager without a subscription, an account or a proprietary format
Why choose eBouquin?
eBouquin is native on each platform rather than one cross-platform shell wearing two skins. On the Mac it is a dense, keyboard-friendly app; on iPhone and iPad it is touch-first and quick to scan. The result feels at home wherever you use it, and the cover grid, metadata editor and conversion tools are designed to be fast on a large collection.
It is also built to respect your ownership. eBouquin works with the open Calibre library format instead of importing your books into something only it can read, so nothing is locked away. You can run it alongside Calibre, back the library up like any other folder, and change tools later without exporting or converting anything.
Privacy is part of the design, not an afterthought. Settings sync privately through iCloud, but the books themselves — the folders and the metadata.db — stay exactly where you keep them and are never sent to the developer. With no account to create and no telemetry to opt out of, eBouquin gives you a modern, capable ebook manager that keeps your library, and your reading, entirely your own.
