    My Kobo Libra works perfectly with my self-hosted Calibre-Web, it syncs directly with it in the same way as it would sync with their online platform. You can also use both as it uses the later one as fallback.

      Agree, I would also recommend Kobo. In addition, at my Kobo I can also borrow books directly from our public library for free in Sweden. Very convenient.

      I like mine. But I have to admit I’m not a frequent reader and only synced a few times.

      I’ve been trying to run this with a Libra but the calibre-web sync has been borked for awhile. Kinda frustrating, tbh.

      as in it pulls everything you add to the calibre library on a schedule rather than pulling individually/manually like from OPDS? how do you pull this off?

        You basically replace the URL that the reader uses to connect to their cloud platform with the one from your self hosted instance. Then the Kobo will just sync normally like it would do with their platform, the queries not understood by Calibre-Web (usually books not stored there or requests to the Kobo Store) are proxied by Calibre-Web to the Kobo Cloud.
