Hi everyone 👋
I am a big fan of e-readers, especially Kindle. I prefer to keep my own book files instead of depending completely on one provider for access.
I started collecting EPUBs 9 years ago, and the collection has grown quite a lot. My books already live in an S3 bucket. The annoying part was browsing them and sending a book to my e-reader.
I tried several self-hosted tools. I could not find one with the simple interface I wanted that could also read directly from my existing object storage.
So I built Bookhoarder, a self-hosted EPUB library that uses object storage.
Demo: https://bookhoarder.dev/
Source: https://github.com/bookhoard/boo...
I made Bookhoarder open source under AGPLv3. Anyone can self-host it, modify it, and contribute improvements through GitHub.
Please check it out. I would be interested in feedback from people with large EPUB collections and different e-readers.
