Honestly, I’m personally not just after a self hosting solution, I’m mostly trying to replace US services and companies. As part of that, I’ve started using Jellyfin and I think it’s great.

Now I’m thinking about replacing Kindle reader. I think I’ve got three use cases:

  • Research papers
  • Textbooks
  • Novels / Non-fiction

The main device I’d do most of my reading on is an iPhone but I’d also be wanting to open up the research papers and textbooks on my MacBook. I’d want to be able to add research papers from the iPhone, or at least a light weight way to list them to quickly add later.

Note taking and highlighting isn’t an issue, I’ve started using markdown for this. Syncing is. Ideally between devices but on the one device would work too.

I figure I’ll have to drop some of my aims here but I thought I’d see if anyone knows of decent setups to try.

Since there is a mandated image here I’m starting to wonder if I’m really in the wrong place, but I put textbook cover there
