“KOReader [1] is my favorite reader.”
“syncs your KOReader progress directly to your Storyteller server”
“I built a little Jellyfin plugin for KOReader”
This is the best setup I've tried as well. Syncthing works so well I just often forget about it / take it for granted. I used to just deal with plugging our Kobo devices in, but now I can just distribute the relevant media by dropping a file somewhere. The Kobo devices are truly worth every penny and we've got 4 of them in our household at this point. These are some of the best devices to put in the hands of kids.
