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.

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.
