Have a very old nook (with light!) Got it mainly because it handles epub, but getting books from my server to it is a pain. Can kobo connect to my calibre server and grab books automatically? Or does it need plugging in to sync up?

Thanks, will give that a try

I have homepage too, and I like how clean it looks. But haven't managed to figure out how to password protect it, so I only use it on my home network or when I'm connecting via VPN. Is there a way of adding authentication to it that I missed?

Yeah, I started with Heimdall, tried a couple others and then found organizr and stuck with that for ages now.
