i have a nice emag PDF collection and browsing the filesystem via a simple nginx file-browser is ok so far, but i miss the cover view, bookmarking of pages and a PDF search.

i sort the mags in this kind of folder-structure via flexget (but sort them manually into a year folder if a mag has many releases per year).

i tried Kavita today which provide a nice cover view, but there is no grouping of magazines and i can not set a bookmark on a PDF page. I think it's desinged for book/comics/mangas.

Does anyone has another nice suggestion for a emag collection?

Or an idea how i can get grouping for my first-level folders in Kavita?

Have a read: https://wiki.kavitareader.com/guides/scanner/managefiles/

Komga maybe? It's made for comics/manga but they can be grouped.

I use YACLibrary and YACReader

Not sure about this, as it is not developed for this purpose. You may take a look at zotero and make a folder/tag per magazine to group them.

Komga

i can not find any bookmarking functionality in the docs or the demo

Mind telling me where one would get some e-mags? I've been looking for it for quite a while. Especially French comics/manga magazines

There's no bookmarking functionality :( however, they are grouped by directorty structure. Most important part !

However, not sure it works witb emags ://
