About Kavita
Kavita overhauls its Kavita+ premium tier and integrates Hardcover for book recommendations, its most significant monetization move in three years.
Kavita v0.9.1 delivers a complete redesign of Kavita+, the platform's premium subscription layer. The Hardcover integration — adding OAuth login and recommendation support — arrived alongside Hardcover's own launch of OAuth and Vibes recommendations, with v0.9.1.4 required to enable recommendations. The 50x scanner performance improvement from v0.8.9 continues to pay dividends for large libraries.
