Honest question. Why host them? Finishing one book can take a while and they are incredibly small.
I just use calibre and sync with my e reader and phone occasionally.
For me (I use Kavita) it’s because I want to be able to just pick up whatever device is in front of me at the moment and pick up the book where I last left off even if it was on another device
Syncing progress seems like a very good reason for hosting. I didn't think of that.
Thanks!
Download whenever I feel like it. Share them.
Because I have a really cool library and it should all be kept in a centralised place
I do the same thing. I’ve tried Kavita and Audiobookshelf and ended up just keeping the books on a network share and then accessing them through Calibre. I am sideloading to a Kindle though.
You can use calibre-web to send to your Kindle email. They will appear in the Kindle as "Documents"
