Not to be confused with Calibre, the excellent ebook software by Kovid Goyal:
https://calibre-ebook.com/
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.

Project mention: Is there a program to translate a whole book in english to spanish? | /r/Onyx_Boox | 2023-05-22You can also use Calibre and the associated plugin.
Instead of using a cronjob you can put the device into sleep and use the RTC to schedule the next wakeup (see [1]). This takes only very little power, as the device is only turned on for mere seconds and sleeps the remaining time.
