It seems like thre are really only a couple of options, and I haven’t found many review or examples that show enough detail to compare them.

Jellyfin has a bookshelf plugin that seems to be able to handle it. Audiobooks look to be accessed through the main client app, and ebooks through a companion app like JellyBook, which also claims to handle audiobooks.

On the other hand, there is Audiobookshelf, which specializes in audiobooks, but also claims to host ebooks. It has a number of client apps, but none that I found mention eBook reading.

I’ve found a couple of other solutions that seem more specialized. Maybe one of those?

I want to be able to read and listen on an Android device, preferably with a native app. I have a few comics, but mostly interested in books and audiobooks. I already have a Jellyfin server setup.

    I think specific solutions for each type of content would be better in the long term if you have a lot of stuff to host, and management/organization will be better since they are catered to whatever the content type is.

    Others have already said it, Audiobookshelf is a good one. For EBooks though, I would highly recommend Calibre Content server. Calibre is pretty much the defacto open source EBook manager out there, a lot of features and abilities specific to ereaders and ebooks of all formats.

        I think youre linking to a user instead of a channel but could be wrong. When i tried to access in Voyager it told me the user didnt exist.

          Oh. Yeah, probably. I can never remember how Lemmy does communities; with a bang, maybe?

          !selfhosted@lemmy.world

          I wish the OSS communities would get together and pick a lane. Matrix uses #room:server, Lemmy does !community@server; does Mastodon use the same as Lemmy?

          Standards, people. Let’s have some standards. Shame on whoever designed their protocol second.
