I have a kindle from like a decade ago. It works fine. I just today had the thought as I was carrying it from the beach “why would anyone replace an old kindle?” So my suggestion is get the cheapest oldest model you can. Last week I updated my self hosted ebook library so I have calibre, calibre-web for a nicer front end, and readarr all working in tandem; it’s just about perfect. Books arrive magically on the device once they finish downloading and they download the instant they become available. I don’t know what else I’d want except for maybe a back light. But reading with actual natural light is a pleasure too.
That sounds amazing. Any chance you have a guide on how you have that setup?
I've seen radarr and sonarr and such everywhere but I've never used them so I don't know where to start.
Heck yeah I do. https://academy.pointtosource.com/containers/ebooks-calibre-readarr/ This is the exact guide I followed. It's basically idiot-proof.
Also head over to the /c/selfhosted community it's super active and happy to help you.
Oh, you bet I'm there already. First community I joined on lemmy haha
I'm actually getting started with docker and containers and such. Still new to it all though.
Thanks for your help!
