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.

    Don’t get the Kobo,it works only mediocre with Calibre Web and other “web based” “personal librarys” - and Kobo is forcing Kepub down users throat more and more. Kobo only looks good if you come from the hellhole that Kindle has become,tbh.

    I would highly recommend looking into Pocketbook and especially Onyx if your goal is a more “free” approach.

      What’s the issue with Calibre Web? I add book to shelf on Calibre Web, and hit Sync on my kobo, and the kobo downloads the book and populates it in my library. What’s the thing I’m missing or that’s not working right?
