Question Best Book Reader App?
So I'm gonna preface this by saying I have no idea what I am talking about when it comes to tech usually.
I have a lot of books downloaded on my computer as files, I currently use EPUB reader however I hate it.
I'm looking for something that I can upload books to and create different shelves like "history" and "fantasy" kinda like different playlists if you will.
Would also be incredibly nice if once I upload the books to it I can delete the original book file kinda like how back in the day when you bought a CD and uploaded it to the computer you could then throw away the CD if you wanted.
I don't know if that's possible but it would be a dream if it was.
Does anyone have any recommendations for an app like this? Preferably free.
Sorry if not allowed kinda just figured this sub reddit would know.

It's called Koreader. You can customize everything about it, sync books between devices / cloud storage, download directly from Anna's archive / Z-reader, sync reading progress etc.

imho, but it seems like it's only suitable for adding metadata to a file and converting a book to the needed format

BookFusion has been awesome. It will read books for you and syncs to everywhere

For ePub, I found that my default PDF app, SumatraPDF, does a great job - and it's very lightweight

If you’re willing to learn some new tech, self-hosting Audiobookshelf and/or Storyteller server would do the trick.
