If you want to go a step further, calibre-web[1] can act as a backend replacement for kobos servers (and proxy to kobo) so whenever I sync my kobo, it gets any new books from my calibre library over wifi. [1] https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web

Is calibre-web the same kind of idiosyncratic UX rollercoaster with hostile defaults[1] as calibre itself, or is it just compatible with the database? Do the dev teams overlap? I want some self-hosted "store" backend for my kobo but am still traumatized by the UI after trying the desktop version.

Does calibre web track reading progress so I can sync it across devices?

  In my experience, no, but it's possible I missed something.

Oh, wow. I had no idea this was the case with calibre-web. That is insanely useful, thank you. Another tip: if folks want to use DRM'd books they've purchased indefinitely/however they want: NoDRM (a fork of the no-longer-maintained DeDRM) makes bringing in DRM'd books into Calibre completely painless.

  DeDRM is no longer maintained? Shit! Looks like I have some wikis to update.
