I’m brand new to eBooks and have started building a large collection that I’m planning to self-host on a Kavita library. I haven’t yet purchased an eReader. I don’t need note-taking capabilities. I just want the best eReading experience with my own self-hosted library and am willing to pay for a better experience. Appreciate your patience with my noob question and thank you for your recommendations.

    any particular models you’d recommend? looking on ebay to maybe pick up a cheaper one to try this out, but loads of them seem to be very old. i know nothing whatsoever about kobos so a bit lost.

      Not really - It depends on how you prefer the form factor. I liked the side handle of the kindle oasis, so I went with a Libra 2 during their holiday sales last year. If you like the normal form factor, then the Clara 2e/Nia is probably what you want (or an older model).

      You can’t sideload audiobooks, so don’t use that as a deciding feature of which one you pick up.

        thanks. do those older models have the same functionality that allows sync with a CW library?
