I’d like to set something up for my Kobo Libra 2 that puts together a site where I collect my reading list (good reads, storygraph, bookwyrm) then downloads those books to a local server ( readarr?). Then makes them available for my Kobo( calibre web?).
Was curious if anybody has any guides or a better way to set all that up. I really like the sites for browsing new recommendations, but it’s a manual process to get the books to my ereader. I’d like to surf and add books to my own ‘store’ I could access from my Kobo.
Jesus christ dude, how many books do you read?!
It takes me about 30 minutes to find, download, convert to KEPub and load onto my Kobo about 6-12 months worth of books. I curse the day that Brandon Sanderson entered my life. He writes them faster than I have the opportunity to read them.
This is such a fair point. What made me think of it was that I browse story graph, and add lots of books to my recommendations. Then every so often I go through that list, look up a pile of books in mam, download them, import into calibre and then dig out a micro USB to move them over.
There’s got to be a better way! Bi-annual pain in the butt is not zero pain in the butt.
Oh I get it. Further complicated by my Kobo only working with one very specific micro-usb cable that looks the same as all the others.
Honestly given the nature of the problem I think it would be better handled by a custom rom for readers, or even just a custom browser that can install from any source.
If you were so inclined you could probably write a script to do this for you using your existing web lists. Getting it as far as your calibre library wouldn’t be that hard.
Also when’s cremposting coming over? =]
Ohh I had to avoid that sub. Too many spoilers, I started late!
