I’m brand new to eBooks and have started building a large collection that I’m planning to self-host on a Kavita library. I haven’t yet purchased an eReader. I don’t need note-taking capabilities. I just want the best eReading experience with my own self-hosted library and am willing to pay for a better experience. Appreciate your patience with my noob question and thank you for your recommendations.

    Thank you kindly for your reply. I’ve just started using Calibre to help me clean up my metadata. But I haven’t explored Calibre-web. I was really hoping for a plex-like experience with kavita whereby I could casually peruse my library.

      In Calibre, you can also run a web server. On her Kindle Paperwhite, my wife simply goes to the “experimental web browser” and browse to 192.168…:8080, which shows all the available books. From there she downloads the mobi version of the book she wants and done.
