I have an Onyx Boox tablet and use ubooquity as an ebook OPDS server on my unraid box at home, it has an online reader that's pretty good, but I just download the ebook file to local storage and use the much better reader built into the system. I'm a slow reader so I dont have to do it often.
I haven't really found a third party reader that is e-ink optimised and can seamlessly integrate an OPDS server. I'd like to find one, particularly if it has syncing between devices as I also use a foldy phone as my main device so it seems some use as a reader sometimes.
I also self host a huge archive of manga in Komga, and access that on the tablet and phone via a tachiyomi fork, it handles e-ink optimisation pretty well. It also doesn't sync between devices but if I use the komga web reader it does, it's just a bit power hungry on the Boox and has no offline functionality so I just manually keep in sync which isn't that hard.
Same, have a boox, getting a second boox, and really wish I had a better option to track location across devices. KOReader is a nice reader experience, but browsing books sucks. I use a blend of moon reader and the built in app depending on my mood, but neither feels as good as maple reader on my iPad, and nothing I've found can really sync my location.
