koreader-sync-server

I really like that this exists, but I found the menus and UI to be rather non-intuitive. My main use case was to sync reading progress between my Kobo and my iPhone. I was able to do this using KOReader on the Kobo & the Readest app[1] on iPhone (also open source). Ultimately I decided to get rid of KOReader because it felt a bit laggy. The gestures (eg: swiping up on the left side to increase frontlight brightness) didn't work well either. I eneded up writing my own software to sync progress from Kobo to a KOReader Sync server[2] which my Readest app also connects to (love that unlike the Kindle, the Kobo is quite an open system). You can even set it up so you can SSH into it[3].

I googled it and it seems that koreader has a selfhostable server that can be used to sync reading positions across devices https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server I used koreader years ago. I'll give it a try again. If I like it I'll download the server and check if I can make it work.

https://github.com/koreader/koreader and you can host your own koreader server to sync data https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server

I suffer from the same issue. I use KOReader, which does do sync, but uses its own zsync protocol, which basically nothing else supports. I use Kybook 2 on my iPad. I think Calibre supports syncing with Kybook 3, so you could try that. If you really want highlight syncing etc, it might be worth migrating to a Kindle-first workflow? But PDFs aren't there. Why is this so hard :( Why can't everything use a standard progress sync protocol? (KOReader's is at https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server)

My Paperwhite was collecting dust until my recent discovery of KOReader. I'm now toying with my own instance of https://github.com/koreader/koreader-sync-server since KOReader also runs on my Android devices. I'm not 100% sure how(/if) I plan to sync PDFs, versus just downloading from source on each device. I intend to play with OPDS as well.
