    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.

      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.
