It works - amazing - with Calibre actually. I set up Calibre-Web-Automated last week and setup my Kobo Libra 2 to sync with my Calibre server (swapping one url in a config file), and now my Kobo acts like my self hosted Calibre server is the actual Kobo Store, meaning I can browse and download all of my books. I think it syncs reading progress too.

Hey, this look neat. I'm not familiar with kobos, are they good (compared to kindles)? Does this require some sort of jailbreaking or are they quite open by default?

[mitthrowaway2]

In my experience they're more open than Kindles by default and there's no need for jailbreaking. I can read PDFs, project Gutenberg epubs, library books, sideload via Calibre and so on -- but maybe someone else has other needs that require a jailbreak? Not sure.

The hardware is good. I have a Libra Colour, which works great. Good screen, waterproof, nice hardware buttons to page-scroll one-handed, a good bezel to hold onto. No complaints from me about it.

You literally just change an URL in a config file. The config file is available by just connecting your Kobo by USB to your computer. Super simple and quite surprising.

Would you be willing to post a short blurb about how you did it. I spent the last two days trying to do this. Just listing the software you used would be helpful.

I put together a quick write-up on how I did my setup, for you :) If anything is unclear, feel free to reach out. https://medioker.utveckla.re/stuff/calibre-web-automated/?hn
