I’ve picked up an eink Android tablet, which is awesome. However I have plenty of ebooks I’ve purchased over the years on places such as Humble, and I was wondering whether there was a self hosted solution like Plex/Emby/Jellyfin but designed for ebooks.
I’ve seen Calibre but it doesn’t seem to be quite the same thing, and running a sync is a bit clunky for the spouse factor.
Is there anything that would index the books, show a bookshelf and allow me to read them, with offline support?
Preferably with an Android app for reading with, and the reader handling eink rather than scrolling.
Audiobookshelf claims to have ebook support. I only use it for audio books so I cannot say whether it’s good for that or not.
It works great for the audio books.
Support for ebooks is honestly pretty good. The reader is mid tier at best but it’ll only get better, hopefully.
I use it for digital books and it works great. You can configure it to send a book to an email so it appears automatically. The auto tagging works well too.
