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!
Kobo ebooks are the best for this, just plug them in a computer and they act as a USB key. Calibre can manage them too. Some models have a SD card slot for a lot more storage too.
Second, I run a fleet of kobos for the family, they alsonwork pretty well with the libraries around the area which the kids love.
i have an older Kobo Glo, which does not have the library integration, but i am wanting to do exactly the same as you. get a few to take with us, and use the library borrowing to get books to read.
Calibre Web has Kobo integration, although I'll admit I haven't been able to make it work so far: https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/wiki/Kobo-Integration
yeah, i have kobo glo currently, need to get some more for an upcoming long trip. thanks for the vote for Kiobo!
