How well do ebooks & audiobooks work on jellyfin? I'm an emby user, and while I love it a lot, it's not great for audiobooks & there's functionally no ebook support... you can see ebooks in their library but not even open them.

I have audiobookshelf too which handles both, but I'm also always looking for ways to cut down on excess stuff to have to worry about or maintain

Yep! Here's an ebook I have hosted through Audiobookshelf, reading it over the Internet using my domain & reverse proxy.

(The top bar is shown/hidden when you tap the screen, so it's not always in the way like this)

This. I've personally found it easiest to use Calibre to strip DRM & get things tidy, then use Audiobookshelf to manage both my ebooks and audiobooks
