I know you said “self hosted”, but if you are interested in an Android app, Google Play Books does most of what you want, I think. You can upload your books, and read them on any device (with offline capabilities). But this is the Self Hosted community, so I will show myself out.
I think single account ActivityPub implementations are addressing a weakness of the Fediverse: one’s identity (handle, username) is tied to an instance they have no control over. If that instance shuts down users lose everything. With a single account instance, you take that control back. And since it doesn’t need to scale the architecture can be much simpler and can be deployed to much cheaper infrastructure.
The demo was not straightforward, though. And I didn’t quite get how a user can follow Mastodon users, for example.
