Which kindle(?) to buy for downloaded books (lemmy.pt)

Hi!

I want to get more into reading but books can be expensive and bulky.

I thought I'd buy a Kindle (or similar) since those screens are pleasant to read on, but I don't know if there's anything specific I should be looking for piracy wise.

Apparently amazon has added support for epubs so I'm hoping it'll make it easier to load with my own downloaded books?

Also, the version names/models of kindles are crap.

Edit2: I've decided I'll buy a paperwhite kindle (2020 version). I found a 2nd hand one, like new, for 80€ with a screen protector + magnetic cover. This way I'm still not supporting amazon :)

Edit: I seem to have posted this same/similar question yesterday but I have no recollection of doing so. If this is something you're interested have a look at that post.

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.

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!
