I recently updated my kobo devices and saw that there’s a Google drive option now for storing books elsewhere, for the time being I’ve just been using calibre and moving files over myself, would there be any concerns to host non drm ebooks from mam on a Google drive if I’m only sharing it with like one person.

Cheers^^

you’ll be fine unless to share the drive, which makes me think, is there any ereader related communities around ?

I’ll probably just stick with the way that works but having a way to sync for people would be nice

do you get any benefits from using callibre instead of just copying the files in a folder ? I used to do it but found it way more convenient to just copy them directly since callibre doesn’t create collections

Series folders are a big one for me but just having organisation is quite nice, I’ve had some issues with my e-readers sometimes where the database gets corrupted but in calibre I can backup the database.

I just think it’s neat

Automatic conversion to Kepub is a benefit Calibre has, but the same thing can be done by running Kepubify before copying the files manually.
