Looking to remove Google play books from my life, so looking for something I can toss a bunch of stuff into and use.

Any good recommendations, with a decent UI?

For ebooks, my wife uses caliber and I use Kavita. No real reason to use one over the other I dont think. I like them both although Kavita has a slightly better reader for my liking. Both are a snap to self host and add books to.

+1 for Kavita, though I don't use it for reading. I use OPDS in Kavita to read books on my phone (using MoonReader+ on Android) and share books with family.
