I have many ebooks I have from scouring the Internet in two formats: epub and PDF. I want something server like that lets me drop read them from any device on my local network and remembers where I left the book on device and let’s me continue on another. I want the client app to have android and Linux support while the server should run on linux. Is there anything out there? Bonus points if it autographs metadata from the internet and organises them by topics, authors, ddc etc.

TLDR: An ebook library running on a Linux server with Android and Linux client software.

      That looks ideal for me too, thanks for the link :)

      Do you know if it works offline? So if I start an ebook or audiobook then lose my internet connection, can I carry on with the book?

        I haven’t tested the ebook functionality and I mostly use it for podcasts, but you should be able to download on the mobile client at least.

        And if you’ve hosted it at home it will continue to work on the LAN if your internet connection goes down.
