Moreover it is important to avoid local copies of the files on the reading devices.
Is there any software (possibly open source) which permit me to create such a thing?
What type of reading software should I use on the devices?
Currently I use okular on linux and ebookdroid or librera on android.
I do not use a lot windows and in case I prefer a portable or browser based reader.
My idea is if any software permit me to do that to test it using my pc as "local cloud server" and if it works then try to find a portable mini pc with a battery which could run the same and share using wifi.
Any idea?

I believe that the new calibre content server/viewer can do some of what you want, but I'm not sure if it works with PDFs. You would have to install the Calibre program and import all of your books into it, and have it run on a computer, which the other devices would connect to using a browser. As I said, though, I'm unsure as to how well the new viewer works with PDF.
