In the meantime, I am using Calibre-Web. It even has the same theme as Plex (caliblur!)… So the look and feel will be virtually the same.

I’ve tried a few different solutions like Calibre/Jellyfin/Komga and they all have a few drawbacks between updates breaking third party apps integration to libraries not updating on their own to just bad interfaces/sorting. If there was a Plex ebook/comics reader with the same sorting like the movies/tv has it would be great.
It would be at least nice to get a answer even if it is no after so long so we can at least close this.

I’m in the same boat. Jellyfin, Komga, and Ubooquity leave a lot to be desired. I just wish there were something that was consistently supported, easy to track, and consume cross device. Sigh.
Feel the same way but until one of these other services gets fleshed out or plex decides to give an answer my best solution is to copy my content to a microsd, pop it in my phone and use Comicrack which hasn’t been updated since 2014 because it had all the features similar to plex like sorting and series stacking.
Please add this feature
Most ignored post by dev’s on the internet. X-p
I am begging you… Please???

Come on Plex! I’m a Lifetimer and love what you guys do, but I was just shocked when you released support for 8Bit games before comics/ebooks! Sort it out please

Do you (looking at you, Plex staff) want to know what irritates me the most about this thread? There has been absolutely nothing said by Plex staff regarding this request, AND you all dropped this Blog post last month:
https://www.plex.tv/blog/one-giant-step-for-plex-kind/
This post has the following quotes:
We can confidently say that we will continue to support, develop, and innovate even better methods to help you organize, curate, and enjoy your media collections with beautiful interfaces and dashboards that take the headache out of managing all those different formats, sources, and media types.
We’re giving you a major push to be innovative. Adding ebook support would put you ahead of the competition.
Second, for the millions of customers that use Plex for all the great movies, shows, music, and other content we’re working hard to bring to you, this funding will further our mission to make Plex your one-stop shop for all the content you care about, no matter where it comes from.
We’re asking for this support so we can have a one-stop shop.
Most importantly, we want you to be able to trust Plex. We don’t have a separate widget business that we’re trying to push, or a parent mega-corp we’re beholden to, or a side business in selling your personal data. We’re here to serve you: the customer, the audience, and most importantly, the fan.
We’re not able to trust you because you won’t communicate with us.
We want you to be a part of the journey, not in the back seat, but in the front, helping us hold the map and steering this beautiful crazy rocketship that we’ve been building together for the last decade. We won’t get everything right — that we can promise you — but we’ll always have your interests foremost in our hearts.
We don’t feel like we’re a part of this journey (definitely not in the front seat) because you have been ignoring us for almost a decade.
Even something as simple as, “We’re looking into this, but we can’t make any promises,” would be greatly appreciated. Instead, you’re just ignoring us. This is one of the most-requested features (if not the most requested feature) for Plex. And what did you do? You ignored it (and us), and you brought some stupid games to Plex that nobody was asking for.
The Plex staff are obviously out of touch with reality. You people need to figure out what you’re doing, because your mission statement (based on that blog post from last month) and how you’re behaving are at odds with each other.

I check this topic out every year or so since I started using plex and I’d still love to see it implemented. Its been a long time since this thread was made so I agree at least a bit of transparency about what the devs think would be nice.

How many votes does one Feature Request need to be considered?
3 Likes
I think it might be fifty thousand.
I’m just speculating though based on their track record of implemented features having a variety of vote counts while others sit for years with even higher vote counts. So it must be really high for the vote count to come into play.

So everybody who voted has to make 20 account and vote again?

I’ve had a lifetime plex pass for well over 5 years now. I visit this thread from time to time to see if any mention by devs has happened. There are features that plex has that I don’t use and I understand the work that went into them. So, here I am, another plex pass member asking for some work to go into another feature that not everyone would use but would definitely be a welcome addition.

I would love this feature as well. I would gladly pay more for this functionality

If they would add a good plug-in support (something they took out) the community would solve this.

I would love this feature to share my comics, manga and eBooks between my: Macbook, PC, Android phone and iPad. Honestly, it’s a huge PITA right now, I have to run an SSH server and use SFTP to transfer files between devices and manually track where I am so I can resume where I was on each device.
You’ll have to pardon my saltiness here but this and the audio books asks, both of which I rate far higher then anything that’s been added since I started using Plex 5-ish years ago, don’t seem to have much traction even though both threads are nearing a decade old now and both are some of the most prominent asks in this forum. It’s quite disheartening really to see such apathy towards what the community wants. It’s extremely frustrating since, for me anyways, it would be an amazing add. I’d probably use Plex more for reading then watching if it was there. Also, being a developer, I’d even be willing to create a plugin to do this if it was an option.
Maybe there’s a legal or technical reason that this can’t be included, If that is the case please properly set expectations and tell us that you will never do it. Alternatively, if there is no reason not to implement this consider this… If you added this as a Plex Pass feature just look at the audience/market you could expand into especially considering the plethora of comics, manga, audio books and eBooks places like Humber Bundle give out. Honestly I’m an armchair expert here with no real data to back this up, but I’d imagine that as a far greater revenue stream by increasing your user base then things like Tidal integration.

+1 here as well.
Reading through this thread and seeing years goes by truly is depressing. Communication with your users/customers isn’t your strength, right ? At least, if it’s a “No” don’t keep our votes as hostages.

I too would like to include study guide PDFs with educational DVDs that I’ve loaded into Plex.
what even is the point of a voting system if this is the second highest (by a quick glance) requested feature and plex refuses to accept this is what its users want. I know the real answer is because there is no money in adding ebook support. so to them, it is a waste of time. there’s more money in jumping into the video game streaming business. I get that. but lets circle back to my point - why even have a voting system in the first place if plex doesn’t care what we want?
