Are any of you hosting their own E-Books? If so which Software are you using and is it compatible with the E-Reader of your choice (if you use one)?

I don't have an E-Books nor do I have an E-Reader, but I'm considering to dig deeper into the business and wanted to hear your stories.

Using a Kobo reader with Calibre & Calibre-web to serve the books.

Setup a shelf on web, create a sync token on web. Add token to the Kobo config, automatically syncs any books that are added to the shelf. This replaces the Kobo store api for syncing, but I don’t use it so no biggie for me.

Did you have to do anything special to get the Kobo sync working? I followed the instructions and nothing worked for me ...

I just followed the instructions here and it worked right away.
