Most of my favourite books/movies/TV shows are Sci fi - I love Mary Shelley, slaughterhouse five, annihilation (both the book and the movie), The Thing, x files, the invasion, and the OA. This feels like a pretty wide variety of writing styles when I line them up but 90% of the sci fi I read/watch I just don’t enjoy at all....
Looks to me like you’re in the sci fi/thriller genre. There’s a lot in that category. Seems you like the classics too. Have you tried Phillip K. Dick? Dracula might be your cup of tea also.
I’d like to set something up for my Kobo Libra 2 that puts together a site where I collect my reading list (good reads, storygraph, bookwyrm) then downloads those books to a local server ( readarr?). Then makes them available for my Kobo( calibre web?)....
I’m not familiar with the Kobo, but here is what I do with my Mac Mini/Onyx Boox combination.
I download pretty much all of my ebooks as epub. Hazel on the Mini automatically moves epubs to a Calibre watch directory. Then I remote into my Mini with my laptop, start Calibre’s web server, browse to Calibre’s address from my Boox, and download the epubs to it. Lastly I shut down Calibre’s web server.
It’s not a completely turnkey solution but I don’t have to get out of my recliner for any step of it.

I have been using AlDente since day 1 of my M2 13” MBA, so just about a year now. It doesn’t get out much so stays plugged in almost all the time. I use AlDente pretty much with the stock settings (charge to 80%, sail to 70) and setting it to run on login. I’m currently at 100% battery health with only 7 cycles.
