I recently updated my kobo devices and saw that there’s a Google drive option now for storing books elsewhere, for the time being I’ve just been using calibre and moving files over myself, would there be any concerns to host non drm ebooks from mam on a Google drive if I’m only sharing it with like one person.

Cheers^^

Automatic conversion to Kepub is a benefit Calibre has, but the same thing can be done by running Kepubify before copying the files manually.

ah, never really needed since I read mostly manga, I just convert all the pages to the right resolution and put them in a cbz

I’ve been pretty lucky with finding what I need already in cbz but I do like just looking through a library with covers, just like qol things.

Being able to pick the covers so it displays nicely on the e-reader as well ^^

kobo’s have such a high res display i’m usually inclined to run all pages though waifu2x and then downsize them to the exact res of the display to get maximum sharpness, otherwise it’s either slightly blurry because the source was too small or it’s slow in page turning because the pages were too big, that and changing the contrast of the pages so that the darkest color is black and the lightest white, also gets rid of jpeg noise

I’ll have to give that a test at some point to see if the benefits are noticeable, for all ik I’ve been reading blurry text and just gotten used to it
