How do you all organize and make your ebooks accessible? I want a single library for them and to be able to keep annotations and highlights with the file. EPUB makes that hard because they don't export with the file but stay locked in the reader you made them in. Thus, I can't start reading a book on my laptop and then move to my tablet and pick up where I left off.
The other issue I run into is I do a fair amount of research and like to export these notes to my notes app. I like/need citation information, such as which page or chapter it came from. A link to that spot would be even more ideal. I've managed to do this in some instances with Calibre, but again, it only works on my PC and not mobile. I don't want to have to think "Oh, i may want to read this on my tablet or my Boox later so I better transfer it now". Plus, as I've said, I lose my notes and annotations.
Kindle works well for this but I'm trying really hard to not use big tech's software and systems so I can control and own my data. I am using open source as much as I can, but there does not seem to be a good ebook solution that closely replicates Kindle's features. Even tried using Moon Reader as I can save and sync my reading locations, but there's no PC app for that. Zotero is close but the android app lacks EPUB support and though it is supposed to be coming soon, I'm not sure that is the system I want my entire library in as I already use it for work research and it would get super cluttered if I dumped another 5k ebooks into it.
Any one got any solid ebook solutions they're using? Thanks!
