What I really want is a a similar project for epub files. I’ve not been able to find a web based library that allows easy download and auth based management.

I use Calibre to manage my librairy on my NAS, and COPS (https://github.com/seblucas/cops) to access it from anywhere. COPS just read the Calibre database saved on the NAS, and displays it as a self-hosted web site with all categories (authors, ratings, languages,...) and download links.

Oooo thank you for this. I already use Calibre but their web offering is imho kinda bad. This looks like it’s pretty much a drop in solution to my problem. If I throw it behind a zero trust page I can even open it up to the open internet.

Thank you for this!

jellyfin with OPDS plugin. you can download books directly from any OPDS compatible reader (Koreader, Moonreader+, etc)

I'd suggest looking into Kavita. I've been using it for a while now and it works great as a server to read and organize my epubs.

Have you tried Calibre?

Anyone does this with jellyfin?

[–] modus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

No, but plex has terrible support for audiobooks.

[–] picnic@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

Doesn't work, I feel. I've been looking at alternatives, gonna take a look at this audiobookshelf now.

[–] surph_ninja@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

If it’s anything like Emby, it blows for audiobooks. Lacking essential features, and regularly loses its place.

I use the Voice app on Fdriod but it doesnt do syncing that I know about. I fully recommend instead of using Audible.

If you dont own the files, then you dont really own the media.

AudioAnchor + Syncthing for Android via F-Droid has been my mobile audiobook app stack. Takes some setting up and concatenating audiobook mp3s into mkv's for convenience, but I haven't had to touch it since... 2020?

[–] Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it 3 points 2 days ago

@mesamunefire @cm0002 Voice + Syncthing-fork is what I use. It syncs between an audiobook directory on my laptop and my phone.

My wife likes murders and romance, any suggestions for eBook?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Like where to find them?

[–] JMorningstar@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Has anybody any experience with storyteller?
