Hi fellow hosters! I really did not know where to ask this question - and i thought you lot are pretty similar to me. If you can think of somewhere else to post this, please let me know!

I am looking for a solution to be able to host my own books (something like calibre i guess), that i can easily push them to a yet-to-be-purchased eReader.

Firstly - What eReader are you using that allows you to add any number of book sources to? i would also like to include my local library subscription, as well as locally hosted and purchased ones.

Secondly - Any hints on hosting a book collection. (Readarr v calibre, etc), where you get books from, removing DRM from eBooks that you buy, that sort of stuff.

thanks!

    I’m using a combination of:

    • The Boox Palma reader, though they have larger tablets if you prefer. I’m not sure about the others, but the Palma runs Android with the Play Store.
    • Kavita to host my ebooks online.
    • FolderSync with SFTP to sync all of my books ahead of time to my SD card.
    • Moon Reader to add my Kavita server’s OPDS feed as an online catalog if I need to grab something manually.
    • Calibre to manage and embed metadata.
