Now that I have a bit of experience with Calibre-web, I have to say that it's not the greatest solution.
1. It uses the built-in API for requests, meaning that only ePubs (converted to kepubs) and kepubs are being uploaded to the device
2. It does not sync notes in any way shape or form

As such, is there anything that can completely sync the contents of my device?
I have seen the KoboCloud which should allow me to sync with my NextCloud server, but not sure how well it works.
If there was something like GitHub/GitLab, where you can sync chnges from all your devices, that would have been amazing in my opinion.

Nah, it made an unfortunate first impression (I really disliked the image being displayed), but I wouldn't really consider it as any serious downside.
Still wish there was an option to customize the screen layout, even if it was from a pre-selected option or required a PC-companion.

The My Books 'button' (and I do agree, it's just a big, fancy button) was handy. Now, it should probably be replaced by something else.
Are they still missing from the older devices? I can see them being less handy on smaller eReaders.
