Do you use koreader? I primarily want to be able to switch between reading on my phone and my kobo.

No, I just use the built-in reader. I tried a couple of additional third party ones and my battery drain was pretty bad. Might have been a me problem though.

Wirelessly pulling books from calibre and syncing the progress? I doubt my current kindle can do it.

Well, you didn’t specify that requirement in your post.

I believe Calibre has the ability to send books via the Kindle email address to get them on your device that way.

This is how I get books to my Kindle. So, take that to the bank for what it’s worth.

selfhosted ebook library

Is that what we call hard drives, now? :P

I have two android tablets, one 7" to read small books, and one 13" to read US Letter format books, I took the cheapest ones I found, disabled Google Play and installed F-Droid to install FOSS readers, and it just works perfectly. You really don’t need anything specific to just read text, you just want to make sure that you can display an entire page on your screen in a size you’re comfortable reading, otherwise PDFs becomes quickly insufferable.

@Anafroj @daninet

I got an e-ink device because it’s easier on the eyes and battery easily lasts a week when I go camping.

If it were possible to get an e-ink display, I would definitely use one for programming.
