For ebooks, my wife uses caliber and I use Kavita. No real reason to use one over the other I dont think. I like them both although Kavita has a slightly better reader for my liking. Both are a snap to self host and add books to.
+1 for Kavita, though I don't use it for reading. I use OPDS in Kavita to read books on my phone (using MoonReader+ on Android) and share books with family.
Ill have to try moonreader or something similar. I tried using tachiyomi but it always fails to load. I mainly only use it on desktop for my ttrpg pdfs though so then ill just use kavitas reader
That's odd that it won't work with Tachiyomi for you. I followed the Kavita guide to connect it to Tachiyomi and it works fine for me.
The source is there, but none of my files load. To be fair, It could just be a me thing and doesn't really matter? I haven't tried it with any epub files or anything like that.
Odd... What are the files formatted as? All of mine are cbz's.
Right now all Pdfs since theyre all ttrpg books. I should grab some of my wifes epubs and throw em in, see how they load
Guessing from the local manga guide pdfs wont work, but it looks like epubs should. I've never tried those though... It may only read the images from the epub, if there are any.
