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.
Since they’re different applications entirely and you wouldn’t use the same client for each, I use Calibre as a kasmweb docker image for ebooks and enable OPDS for it to hook up with my FBreader app. Audiobooks are done with Audiobookshelf and outputs an RSS feed for Antennapod subscription.
I currently use antenna pod for listening to podcasts and I love it. Am I understanding correctly that you also use it for audiobooks? Does show each chapter as a separate episode or how does that work?

So set the books up in a collection, and add each book. RSS the collection and each book shows up as an episode. I wouldn’t want chapters as episodes, that would be annoying usually.
Agreed, these are two different things meant for two different purposes. At this point nothing beats audiobookshelf
