The one I’ve enjoyed the most is https://www.audiobookshelf.org/, it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything. It also supports offline mode (meaning downloading local copies in the app).
I do the same. It is not perfect for it but it works and it is already running. I’m not sure I would recommend it for anyone not looking for audiobooks
Wait you use it also for epub/pdf? How does that work, can you connect a client and grab it from there? Can you have both an audiobook and text version of the same book?
That’s really cool. After I replied I also remembered you can have multiple libraries in audiobookshelf so even if side-by-side doesn’t work it shouldn’t be an issue.
Unfortunately I love my Readest reading app too much to switch away but it’s nevertheless good to know for other family members.

You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.
I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

Huh…didn’t know that. It has a great looking UI.
The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.
