I have been trying to find a self hosted version of an ebook reader, but without any luck.
Finding a reader for simply reading epubs on one device is easy, but the reason for why I am looking for a self hosted alternative is to being able to sync the reading progress between devices, but on my own server.
Wishlist for solution
- Being able to read all regular ebook formats, especially EPUB and PDF.
- Cross-platform = both iOS and Android. Web would also be nice, being able to read on a laptop.
- OPDS or Calibre support so books can be easily downloaded from calibre-web.
- Sync reading progress between devices.
- Self-hosted = not reliant on cloud accounts.
Are there any solutions out there that fits all of the above features?
If not all features can be matched, what are your best alternatives and why?
