+bouquins-ror
+============
+
+Web frontend for calibre e-book manager.
+
+Features
+========
+
+Bouquins is a Ruby On Rails application. The web UI uses bootstrap.
+
+It allows to browse, search and download e-books from a calibre library using a web browser (desktop/mobile).
+
+It needs a local access to all files in the calibre library (including the sqlite database file: metadata.db). Synchronisation of those files on the server is not part of the application (personnaly I use owncloud).
