This is a device category I have very little knowledge about, but I have a growing collection of PDFs and ebooks and I'd love to have a light weight device to read them on.

Any recommendations? Are they all walled gardens?

I always either convert my pdf’s into epub’s using calibre or pirate the epubs directly

Yeah that's my plan now. I also know there is a Calibre-Web project that turns it into a self hosted website where you can do most of what Calibre desktop dose, but in your browser.

That’s very interesting, I wasn’t aware of that! I prefer adding books without having to boot up my desktop, definitely looking into this

I already do some home server stuff so this seemed like the ideal solution.
