Comment on I read every day but rarely have my e-reader on me — so I built a self-hosted EPUB library that syncs my reading position between my Kobo and my phone

  Calibre doesn’t sync reading position.

    Here’s the Kavita wiki page about KOReader that includes how to set up progress sync

    KOReader can be installed on almost any e-reader, even Kindles. Although installing kt on a Pocketbook reader would of course be the superior option over a Kobo 😉 github.com/koreader/koreader

    It is not just installing an app. It is more like flashing an alternate operating system entirely. Hopefully that does not sound too intimidating, because it is well worth it.

  Also Komga works pretty well with Koreader. I moved my books from Kavita to Komga and I found it to be more reliable regarding the two-way syncing progress (at least for me).
