          Nice suggestion. Calibre is great but I find it has rather too frequent updates. Thorium is a nice simple ebook reader.

          Why do people want a hosted e-book reader rather than one installed on a desktop?

            @LoudLemur Because Librum is more than simply an ebook reader; it is also a library manager.
            It automatically synchronizes your books and their states across all of your devices, eliminating the need for manual syncing.
            Librum also allows you to manage your library by updating the book's metadata, such as the title and cover, as well as adding tags, bookmarking, taking notes, and highlighting portions.
            All of this is instantly synchronised across all Librum devices (including mobile and desktop).

              In order to be able to access their ebook collection wherever they are, for example.

                Mostly as @jdaviescoates says
                But specifically 'on whatever device they are using'
                I know I am sad but currently 3 phones, 2 desktops (plus one hopefully waiting patiently for me in Kharkiv) and 3 laptops (micro, baby and full-size).
                Books (novels) usually read on phones, but I have technical pdf/epub in my library which I consult on desktop/laptop.
                Soo accessing wherever geographically and device-specific is my case for hosted library.
                But then I may be in a small group of such users.
