I moved my entire Kindle library to a self hosted server and escaped the Amazon walled garden for good ↗

The author migrated their Kindle books to BookOrbit, a self-hosted Docker container, after hitting Amazon's restrictions on older devices and book access. BookOrbit handles metadata, library organization, and cross-device reading without requiring Amazon's ecosystem.
