That’s really cool. After I replied I also remembered you can have multiple libraries in audiobookshelf so even if side-by-side doesn’t work it shouldn’t be an issue.

Unfortunately I love my Readest reading app too much to switch away but it’s nevertheless good to know for other family members.

Wait you use it also for epub/pdf? How does that work, can you connect a client and grab it from there? Can you have both an audiobook and text version of the same book?

Just in case you wanna try again with readarr, after all the little drama and the main app being unmaintained, there’s 2 forks which are maintained and work pretty well

• Faustvii/readarr simply fixes the app to keep running
• pennydreadful/bookshelf adds a choice of metadata provider, so you can use hardcover (instead of goodreads) for really good metadata

I’ve successfully been running bookshelf for a bit now, after the original stopped working for me completely.
