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 use a pocketbook since years now.

  • crisp display
  • eats every format you throw at it
  • also bluetooth on board for listening to audiobooks or music. Means no mobile necesarry when going to the beach
  • water resistant models, read in the bathtube
  • send to pocketbook to receive ebooks via mail
  • KOReader compatible with calibre to connect to your selfhosted server
  • connection to onleihe or libby

Ooh. Those price points are pretty solid. If you had to pick one for daily use, including travel, would you go InkPad 4 or one of the eras?

We (3) use Touch HD 3 since several years now. As an upgrade (larger screen and side holding) we just ordered one Era in silver (16gb).

I started with a pocketbook 360, a 5 inch side holding reader. It is nice to see that they go back to another side holder version again, the 360 was, because of this, my favourite.

Nice, yeah, that's kinda how I was thinking. Thanks for the recommendation!
