    I have tried every possible set up, I’ve got to say that the best one so far for me is sychthing + Koreader: dead simple, no databases, synchs annotations and highlights as well, books are simply epub files + metadata.

    Aka no dealing with exports, database corruption or stuff like that.

      I do something similar. Synching and readera. The books are not that big, so I just keep them all downloaded. I use nextcloud for my audiobook library, but the android app is kinda fiddly. Id.love something simpler that worked like a Google drive so I could browse the files, and only download the ones I want. But of course, hosted on my own computer.
