I highly recommend AudioBookShelf . It's mostly geared towards audiobooks/podcasts, but it has a decent reader built into it. That being said, it's not without it's flaws, like some document file types aren't recognized, and not properly syncing progress occasionally.
Edit: I should mention it's actively being developed, devs are active on discord & GitHub, and it's getting better all the time.
AudioBookShelf is awesome for audiobooks. I can't speak to its capability as an eReader but I thought I'd throw that out there for anyone wanting a second opinion. I use it daily and the Android app is great too. My go-to audiobook server for life if it stays just like it is right now.
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 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.
I use Calibre-web for e-books also.
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.
