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.
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.

I use a pocketbook since years now.
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?

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