I’ve picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I’ve purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.

I’ve seen Calibre but it doesn’t seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.

Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?

Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.

    Calibre does all the management and conversion/reading/other but you have to do the initial work of cataloging them.

    Afaik it won’t download covers. Maybe it does now, idk.

      I wasn’t aware of a good reader app, and it required me to use the web view. Unless there is one that I missed?
