Not to Re Necro this thread however on top of all the reasons stated previously. I’m sorry but plex has outgrown just being for the big screen. It now resides in our hands on phones, on tablets. A eReader would be great especially if we do not want sync the full book to our devices and just view it live with internet like any other plex media.

Its true, media in plex eyes stopped at Video and Audio, but its called evolution of technology as we all know. I paid for a plex pass to be part of something bigger, to contribute to the development of what would be the next great app for all devices. There is so much potential being wasted on pride and not venturing out. Lets bring out the eBook support and offer it only to plex pass members! or however you want to put it out there.

Actually with a Plex Pass all you really gained was the right to access a special set of forums where you can be effectively ignored by a higher class of Plex pundits.

There has been a VERY long standing for this kind of thing. (since January 2013) see: https://forums.plex.tv/discussion/56331/plexreader-comics-books-pdfs/p1
Plex, as with many other long standing requests, has not moved on this at all.

Do not expect anything from Plex just accept what Plex deems important and realize that the user has no real input or importance in the Plexiverse.

Plex is the ultimate media consumption app. Ebooks are one of the most popular media format other than video, audio and image. It’s doesn’t make sense why Plex doesn’t support it yet.

+1 here as well. eBooks and Audiobooks deffinetly have a place in Plex. This is the digital age. Resting on your laurels is a very dangerous practice. With all the new apps and addons flying out of Github, how long until someone gets the right ingredients to attract an investor and start making Plex the “MySpace” of the home hosted media hub market (Say that three times fast)

A request for the same feature exists already in the proper forum section.

Therefore this one is closed.
