For the past 2-4 years, I've been getting most of mine through AO3 because the built-in epub download is so convenient.
Bingo. Same here.

The problem is that I download them on the ipad to the reader, read them there, and then start a new one. If I don't put in the metadata (Fandom, rating, pairing, stars, notes) pretty much as soon as I finish, it will never get done without re-reading them all again later on my computer. :-/)

See, that's what I thought... then I went to play with it... and realized Marvin's been redone, and people are saying it the old tricks don't work anymore.

I could set up a content server version... (I'm *pretty* sure. I know enough to know that I'm gonna have to look up a few things to do it, but if that would work...
