I've picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I've purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.

I've seen Calibre but it doesn't seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.

Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?

Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.

You're probably looking for something that supports OPDS to automatically download e-books to your e-reader.

First search result is Komga

Thank you. Half the battle is learning the correct terminology!

The calibre content server also serves OPDS. Once you have a OPDS server in place you'll need to point a capable reader at it, but after that syncing and reading happens in the reader.

Calibre-web supports OPDS and uses the Calibre database.
