Comment on Confused about the many ebook/manga management solutions
whysofurious@sopuli.xyz 1 week agoNo worries! I was pretty much confused myself from the beginning, so I am definitely open to any workflow :) And I do plan to read on one device only as well. My centralized approach was mostly about saving space on the tablet/reader and a possibly easier management and freedom to move to something else in the future, rather than a strict requirement.
I used to have tachyomi on my eink tablet, so this definitely rings a bell, but I thought the only working solution was Suwayomi.
I will look into Mihon and its support of selfhosted solutions then, seems like a nice combination :)

If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I’d recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).

Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That’s what I do.

Thanks! I am open to try both selfhosted and local solutions, let’s see how they work out :) Definitely going to check mihon which was recommended by someone else too, seems like a pretty easy solution (and thanks for the tips about the kindle).
