Kobo Clara BW VS newest paperwhite VS smth less popular but still good. Not interested in color. Libra 2 seems very interesting but very hard to find.

Can you elaborate? Do you use it that way?

If you are into self hosting already, you run a calibre web instance then you can enable full integration with the kobo so Your own self hosted eBook repository becomes the 'store' on the kobo.

I use it like to to get access to all my ebooks

If you don't already do any self hosting, then it can take a while to get the foundation of your server setup. I already had that setup so this took less than an hour for me.

You use calibre web. Then on the Kobo you connect it to your computer, backup 1-2 files, then change the store link to your domain name for your calibre web. Simple json file iirc.

Works well but doesn't sync progress I don't think.
