      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?

        You can read using the web client or dedicated apps (android and ios). I feel like the clients work just as good if not better than similar software.

        I haven’t tested how it handles two versions (audio/ebook) of the same book, but I have ebooks and audio books and it works well for me.

      it may be “focused” on audio books, but works really well for everything

      Huh…didn’t know that. It has a great looking UI.

        The only real downside I’ve run into is it’s very opinionated about folder structures around authors.
