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.

I’m not familiar with the Kobo, but here is what I do with my Mac Mini/Onyx Boox combination.

I download pretty much all of my ebooks as epub. Hazel on the Mini automatically moves epubs to a Calibre watch directory. Then I remote into my Mini with my laptop, start Calibre’s web server, browse to Calibre’s address from my Boox, and download the epubs to it. Lastly I shut down Calibre’s web server.

It’s not a completely turnkey solution but I don’t have to get out of my recliner for any step of it.
