Are any of you hosting their own E-Books? If so which Software are you using and is it compatible with the E-Reader of your choice (if you use one)?

I don’t have an E-Books nor do I have an E-Reader, but I’m considering to dig deeper into the business and wanted to hear your stories.

I manage my library on my laptop with Calibre, then replicate that to a server with Syncthing and serve it up via OPDS with COPS:

I like this because COPS is simple and easy to set up. It does just what I need and nothing else.

I read on a old jailbroken Kindle Paperwhite running KOReader.

Create a post

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
