If you love ebooks, do yourself a favor and get [calibre](https://calibre-ebook.com/). You won’t regret it. It’s the golden standard for ebook management, conversions, sideloads to ebook reading devices, etc. - Open source - Free (as in “free beer”) - Multiplatform - Converts from a lot of formats to other formats - A lot of plug-ins available that enhance the functionality of calibre - Available DeDRM plug-in (not oficially supported by calibre) - Content server - A great [comunity](https://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166) - etc… I love ebooks - I’m an avid reader and have currently 5 Kobos - and calibre is the best software out there for ebooks. Disclaimer: I have no affiliation with calibre, other than I have been using it for about 12 years. ---

I do use/have it on my pc. it’s like the guy above said, i use moonreader on my tablet but i like plex being a one stop shop. again, its not a big deal I just throught to ask (and moom reader+ on android is great, but almost overwhelming with features) ---

There’s a few ebook\audio book specific server options if you’re looking outside of Plex options. Since you’re using Calibre already you might check out [Calibre Web](https://github.com/janeczku/calibre-web/); that’s considered better than the built in WebUI. Jellyfin can do [ebook\audio book libraries](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/books/). [Kavita](https://www.kavitareader.com/) and [Ubooquity](https://vaemendis.net/ubooquity/) are dedicated ebook\comic servers that are pretty popular. I like [YACReader](https://yacreader.com/) for comic specific server\client for tablets and phones (or even just local client) myself. It even handles long form webcomics in cbz\cbr which can be an uncommon feature (just flip a mode setting). There’s a bunch of other comic specific servers out there though and Jellyfin can do [comics](https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media/comics) too but I don’t think it’s quite as complete as the dedicated options. Anyways - thought I’d throw this info out there as I keep looking into these options myself sometimes and had the info handy. ---
