Anybody got recommendations for an ebook setup?
(lemmy.fmhy.ml)
I'd like to set something up for my Kobo Libra 2 that puts together a site where I collect my reading list (good reads, storygraph, bookwyrm) then downloads those books to a local server ( readarr?). Then makes them available for my Kobo( calibre web?).
Was curious if anybody has any guides or a better way to set all that up. I really like the sites for browsing new recommendations, but it's a manual process to get the books to my ereader. I'd like to surf and add books to my own 'store' I could access from my Kobo.
This is such a fair point. What made me think of it was that I browse story graph, and add lots of books to my recommendations. Then every so often I go through that list, look up a pile of books in mam, download them, import into calibre and then dig out a micro USB to move them over.
There's got to be a better way! Bi-annual pain in the butt is not zero pain in the butt.
Oh I get it. Further complicated by my Kobo only working with one very specific micro-usb cable that looks the same as all the others.
Honestly given the nature of the problem I think it would be better handled by a custom rom for readers, or even just a custom browser that can install from any source.
If you were so inclined you could probably write a script to do this for you using your existing web lists. Getting it as far as your calibre library wouldn't be that hard.
