Requirements:

  • Able to pirate books and load them on
  • Nice if it can integrate with my arr stack (Sonarr, Radarr, etc)
  • reasonably priced
  • not locked down to anything

That’s it really just a simple e-reader that I can add what I want.

Edit: this is the first post where I got a lot of comments where I wasn’t too overwhelmed to reply to them all. Hard when you wake up to so many replies but trying to be better thanking people for their input.

    I love my Kobo Clara. I’ve read more in the past few years of ownership than I did the 10 years before. Plus I have a calibre-web server that it syncs with so I don’t have to manually move things over.

        I’m currently running Komga and Komf (metadata) docker containers with the Komelia app on my devices.

        I have used kavita in the past but found Komga more robust with its processing/organizing of my comic collection. Komga doesn’t do all that well with epub/PDF.

        Have there been recent changes to Kavita to make it more eBook friendly? It was a while back when I tried. I’m open to switching servers. It’d be nice to have everything written processed in one place.

          How long ago? I ran both side by side and felt the same way at first, but eventually dropped Komga.

          I personally dont like rhe folder structure required for Kavita comics, so I have Mylar sort them and then create a symlink structure Kavita uses. Kavita handles Epub great, with the same structure as Calibre.
