Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks? (lemmy.world)

It seems like thre are really only a couple of options, and I haven't found many review or examples that show enough detail to compare them.

Jellyfin has a bookshelf plugin that seems to be able to handle it. Audiobooks look to be accessed through the main client app, and ebooks through a companion app like JellyBook, which also claims to handle audiobooks.

On the other hand, there is Audiobookshelf, which specializes in audiobooks, but also claims to host ebooks. It has a number of client apps, but none that I found mention eBook reading.

I've found a couple of other solutions that seem more specialized. Maybe one of those?

I want to be able to read and listen on an Android device, preferably with a native app. I have a few comics, but mostly interested in books and audiobooks. I already have a Jellyfin server setup.

I think youre linking to a user instead of a channel but could be wrong. When i tried to access in Voyager it told me the user didnt exist.

Oh. Yeah, probably. I can never remember how Lemmy does communities; with a bang, maybe?

I wish the OSS communities would get together and pick a lane. Matrix uses #room:server, Lemmy does !community@server; does Mastodon use the same as Lemmy?

Standards, people. Let's have some standards. Shame on whoever designed their protocol second.
