    I’ve found the quality on Gutenberg varies massively - since an epub is basically a zipped html file, I’ve had plenty that are just barely-converted text files, with problems like incorrect character encoding and that everything’s one big chapter.

    I’ve researched this and I’ll be buying a Kobo once my Kindle finally dies (it’s lived a hard life). I’ve bought DRMed books from some non-Amazon sources and had to go through the steps to strip their DRM so I could read them on the Kindle - this was using Calibre. Mostly those other sources were using Adobe Digital Editions (DeDRM can handle it).

    I have yet to find if there’s a self-hosted option that would replicate what Amazon does - i.e. tracks read position and lets you download and read via an Android app or a website. I do have Calibre-web set up, but haven’t fully looked into what it can do yet.

    Double spaces
    At end of lines

    It looked like you were trying to use code formatting which is three backticks, but you used single quotes. This is a backtick: `

    It'll  keep   exactly what you write
