I have my calibre synced from pc to Nextcloud and use the android app to link them together.

I mostly read reference books - recipes, photography, history - so I don't need, or have the space to keep the books on my mobile phone.

This works great however, what I'd really like to do is read my books without having to download them first.

I guess I'm looking for a lazy approach to reading my reference books without storing them all on my phone.

Anyone have any different approaches that I can learn from?

Calibre web has in-browser reading and has replaced the app for me.

The features seem amazing, but I'm not sure what resources I need to get it up and running.

Can I run it in native browser or does it need a Linux install?

Yeah that’s a self hosted thing. If you have public links from your nextcloud for your files then this could work

Interesting stuff indeed, thanks - what's the best way to check for public links?
