I manage my ebooks using a self-hosted instance of calibre-web. This allows me to sync my library to my Kobo e-reader using KOreader.

Also, turning pages is faster than with the stock reader of the device.

OPDS (Open Publication Distribution System) is protocol in the background. Jellyfin has a plugin for OPDS and works by simply dropping a file in specified directory, but it doesn't support multiple catalogues (i.e. one per library/directory).

Protocol is atom based, chatgpt was able to make a custom OPDS server for my needs within minutes, it took another hour or two to fix and customize generated code.
