EpubPress, turn web content into ebooks
Related: I command-line tool I wrote a while ago that pulls articles from Instapaper or Pocket and converts them to an ebook format (uses Calibre as the conversion tool).

Ask HN: Have you created programs for only your personal use?
A few that I've written to scratch my own itch or fill a need. Some of which I ended up sprucing up a bit and publishing publicly.
sitesync - Program that could sync files and folders on local file system and remote (FTP or SFTP). Mainly used to help maintain a web site that other people were also modifying. It allowed me to develop on my local copy and push changes without clobbering anything someone else had changed. (Unpublished)
erudite - [0] - Pull articles from Instapaper or Pocket and add to your ebook library (including Hacker News integration that includes URLs for corresponding posts!)
bday - [1] - The super simple birthday and anniversary reminder program. Wrote for myself but several family members also like it. Originally on Windows and then ported to Linux as well.
moviesschedule - [2] - Tracks Australian movie release dates and can even maintain a Google calendar of the movies you are interested in.
coffeegrinder - Java program to help fold automation of coffeescript compilation to javascript. Included optional GUI for viewing javascript version updates whenever the .coffee file was saved. (Unpublished)
bom - A little web-site and FTP scraper to retrieve local weather info from the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. (Unpublished)
bgdicecalc - Little GUI program to easily figure out probabilities for various dice rolls in Backgammon. Want to convert this to a web-page some time. (Unpublished)
feedme - Web-site scraper to create RSS feeds of various comic strips (e.g. Dilbert) with the image directly in the feed. (Unpublished)

Ask HN: Best Open E-Reader?
Kobos[1] and Pocketbooks[2] are a lot more open than Kindles. AFAIK you can transfer .epub files into both devices and these epubs are perfectly readable via the stock OS. If for some reason you find the stock proprietary OS lacking, you can install an open source one like KOreader [3] or Plato[4]
Of course you want a good way of organizing epubs pdfs mobi, and like has already been mentioned Calibre[5] is a great option.

Majority of web apps could just run on a single server
Oh man I absolutely love the work that you guys do. I'm actually in the process of learning Ebook production using the 'Step by Step' guide on your website. I'm essentially learning it all from scratch as I have little to no programming/SWE experience (I learned a bit of Lua because of KOReader[1]) but the technical side of ebook production has always fascinated me enough to keep learning.

Wear OS "Hybrid" design has two OSes, two CPUs, "100 hour" battery life
Ha! I feel similarly, if not as eloquently.
Installed https://github.com/koreader/koreader on mine + enabled SSH server.

E-books are fast becoming tools of corporate surveillance
I read that KOreader is unstable on the Libra 2[0], so I haven’t installed it yet even though I would like to. What has been your experience running it?

First E-reader. I am thinking of buying Kobo Libra 2?
You can easily modify it (like adding KOReader).

Conversion from epub to kepub, and related Calibre use
I'm using Kobo Clara 2E (6" screen size), and it is unpleasant to read PDF and CBZ files (comic/manga) since Kobo only provides zoom and orientation mode. I installed KOReader on my Kobo. It has more setup to display those files way better. The views of PDF in KOReader and Comic in Koreader. I read Epub files in Koreader to maintain its original format.

Should I buy a kobo libra 2 or carla 2e for manga
I installed KOReader on my Kobo Clara 2E. KOReader is a document viewer to read PDFs and manga/comics. KOReader has more setup to display fixed-layout format in a way that is better than the native Kobo display (Kobo stock).

Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
It doesn't try to solve the same use cases that Calibre does, but I built an open source (EPUB only) manager / reader / statistics tracker called AnthoLume [0]. It mostly stemmed from me reading in KOReader [1] on my Kindle, and not having the ability to sync the progress to my iPhone / iPad.
It's got metadata matching, support for multiple users, and statistics tracking which allows me to have a "Leaderboard" that shows how fast you read (words per minute). Fun competition between my wife and I (that I'm 100% losing). It's a Progressive Web App and utilizes a Service Worker to support 100% offline reading as well.
There's a demo server [2] (creds are "demo" for both user & pass).
