Personally, I find Calibre best suited for my needs. Also, Bookworm looks promising to me and I am using it more often these days. If you’re looking for something simple and modern, Foliate can be worth a try.

Ebooks
There are already some very good ebooks solutions out there so there's really no need. Calibre for the backend and database management, Calibre-Web for the front end, and Openbooks for content. Source: 5 months ago
Kobo / Calibre-web / ePubs - how nice do they play?
I have a carefully-curated calibre-web library that is 100% epubs. I have a kindle to which I usually send books from calibre-web with the 'send to e-reader' button, and it works great. Source: 5 months ago
Calibre – New in Calibre 7.0
Worthy of note the Calibre-Web[0] project, which builds atop Calibre library to provide powerful web interface. The project and its maintainer deserve some love and support. [0] https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

Best way to read books on SD?
If Okular doesn’t get the job done for you, try https://johnfactotum.github.io/foliate/ or https://apps.kde.org/en-gb/arianna/. Of the two I’ve only used Foliate on a laptop, but they should also work on the Deck. Source: almost 1 year ago

Any privacy focused e-book readers out there?
Hey, good to hear. If you're also reading on a Linux laptop have a look at Foliate which is also a very good reader. If you set the epub/azw3/mobi default to open in Foliate then you can also open books from Calibre in Foliate. Source: about 2 years ago
