Doesn't work, I feel. I've been looking at alternatives, gonna take a look at this audiobookshelf now.
If it’s anything like Emby, it blows for audiobooks. Lacking essential features, and regularly loses its place.
No, but plex has terrible support for audiobooks.

I just wish their official app would get out of beta already. It’s been stuck in limbo forever.
I was really confused about this cause the app is great. Googled Plappa and realized you were stuck on IOS. My heart goes out to you.

TLDR: Audiobookshelf
Been selfhosting it for a few years. Audible is an interesting comparison and I agree with the author that ABS is superior. But it's not without its issues and challenges. Any good podcast app has vastly superior UX. That said, I'm a hoarder and I just have to store every podcast I subscribe to for some reason.
Has anybody any experience with storyteller?
Yes, storyteller doesn't have the rich organizational and management features that audiobookshelf has but the audiobook and ebook syncing is excellent and makes for a great experience to be able to switch between listening and reading depending on the situation. There has been some talk of using storyteller from audiobookshelf to get the best of both worlds, but no progress yet to my knowledge. I still use both as storyteller does not have android auto support and I prefer the interface of ABS if I'm just using an audiobook.
My wife likes murders and romance, any suggestions for eBook?
Like where to find them?
