I've been using Grimmory(previously Booklore) and have been very happy with it. It integrates well with Hardcover and Kobo ereaders (with some minor software modifications).
I don't currently have an automated solution for downloading ebooks.
Seconding this! I've been quite happy with the community over at Grimmory as well as the changes. I've also taken a peak at BookOrbit, another fork off Booklore, which seems less resource intensive, but the metadata migration (stuff like hardcover ids, other auxiliary fields) seemed a tad more work than I wanted.
Grimmory combined with Shelfmark works great for automation. I then read on my Kobo ereader or on my phone with Moon+ which is an excellent app, just wish it was FOSS.
