Yep! I set it up with Calibre-web as the OPDS provider, can have multiple.

It's almost like prediction markets are a scam, weird
The other problem is the "um actually the field of ML is a subset of AI" people because, technically machine learning is a subset of the field of artificial intelligence mathematics.
But them acting like that isn't doing the devil's dirty work to "um actually" at everyone is absurd.
All of these features are not something the models themselves can do, but are grafted on.
I could easily write a Home Assistant automation pattern matching for nearly every way someone could say "how many Rs are in strawberry", depluralize a plural letter, and run it against "wc" in a bash terminal.
That doesn't mean it's smarter. It's that I've added something specific to it.
MCP and the like is just that too, gluing on functions or the ability to hopefully invoke a function. That's why so many hilariously mundane ones exist.
At the core, it's still a large language model: a statistical model of frequency of word and word chunk (token) patterns.
Sometimes one model can invoke another via that tooling but it's still a grafting on. It isn't a singular thing or system, but disjointed pieces so completely detached from how brains work.
This isn't AI hate, it's reality. I love the field of artificial intelligence and machine learning. It's cool as hell. But an LLM is fundamentally incapable of being anything more than an LLM with glued on pieces that invoke functionality.
OpenAI saw people mock the inability to count so they wrote a specialized tool to count letters and glued it on.
The world is full of endless edge cases. The inability to simply resolve them without gluing on every single one means it just isn't doing anything new.
Even if no one else could access it because it stayed on my device, I'm sure it'll be used for categorizing "advertising cohort" stuff again.
It sucks having to be so skeptical. With my severe ADHD something like this would be enormously helpful for remembering conversations others I talk to remember just fine but I don't.
I saw comments on his Fediverse post of the comic indicating it may be that "golden sunlight" shading idea of adding warmth. It's much flatter of an effect in generated images than in his art, I think, where sometimes it's heavy and sometimes light and not even always present.
