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!

    thanks. i will look at readarr and ubooquity as the server side.

    I have seen some books i acquired as over 100mb, typically with kids books. not sure why, but there you have it.

    I think i will skip the tablet, due to battery life, i love the weeks of use of my current kobo Glo.

    thanks

      I do get about 2 weeks out of my Boox tablet usually, but that is with all the radios turned off, no light and using the built in reader app that puts it into a super low power state as opposed to third party reader apps that burn through battery like nothing else.
