I just set up audiobookshelf yesterday for audiobooks and podcasts. I tried out the e-reader, and it’s not good enough for real use. It doesn’t save your page, and it’s super barebones.
As an audiobook server/app it’s fabulous, so I’ll be sticking with it for sure. For podcasts, it’s pretty great, too, but missing a few features like badges for unplayed episodes, and an “up next” queue/playlist that gets auto populated. I switched to it from pocketcasts and the downsides are things I can live with, but I’m excited for when those features are added.
For an e-reader, I’m going to set up Calibre and Calibre-web, while keeping an eye on Readarr development.
For general ‘non-book’ type documents, I’ve also set up a Paperless-NGX instance. It’s working fairly well, but I’m still in the learning curve phase of getting it set up exactly how I want it.
With Audiobookshelf you need to download the Podcast episodes to your server, right? You can’t just subscribe and stream them? That’s what has kept me from using it for that. I would like to get away from Pocket Casts as well.
Same here, I’ve been using audiobookshelf for a few months now and it’s outstanding.
Earlier today, I set up caddy as a front end SSL proxy for it, and I think it performs even faster now.

I use Calibre-web for e-books also.
