Plex for Books?

• Kavita

  206 5,065 9.8 C#

  Kavita is a fast, feature rich, cross platform reading server. Built with the goal of being a full solution for all your reading needs. Setup your own server and share your reading collection with your friends and family.

  

Kavita is a WIP "Plex for books" and is what I use. It doesn't have external metadata scraping yet, but it can read local and embedded metadata now and scraping plugins are planned for release. It's development is very active and I'm excited for it. It handles books, comics and manga, just like Plex handles music, movies, and shows.

• auto-m4b

  5 202 4.0 Shell

  Docker container that watches a folder for multi-file mp3 books and converts them to a chapterized m4b.

There's extra steps that need to be taken, but there are automation tools that work well in conjunction with readarr that take care of those steps. Auto-m4b monitors a folder for audiobooks and converts mp3 files into chapterized m4b files, which readarr handles way better at import than mp3. The Audnexus metadata agent handles proper metadata for audiobooks, including author info and portraits plus plex-friendly covers.
