I’ve got readarr up and running, now I need a front end. What do y’all prefer and why?

As a few people have pointed out, Kavita is a solid one. I ultimately used it because it saves your spot in the book server-side instead of with the browser (like calibre-web) so you can pick up where you left off on different devices.
Also has a pretty good PWA for your phone if you want to read on there.

At the moment I am trying Kavita reader, but I don’t know maybe there are better ones out there
I use calibre and calibre-web. I have the DeDRM and ACSM plug-ins installed in calibre so I can buy a book from ebooks.com or wherever, drop the acsm file in my auto import folder, then just download the drm stripped epub from calibre-web and import to the Books app on my iPad.

Apparently Plex and Emby (Jellyfin) do audio book sorting, but Ive never been able to get them to work right

Audiobook issue has been solved by using audiobookshelf. It’s genuinely already great with native apps and even android auto integration.

@midas I have a weird problem with the android app losing my place in the book regularly. I finally just went to downloading the book with audiobookshelf and then using a different audio book player on android.

Calibre is highly regarded and works well with nearly all e-readers afaik. It has a local server option for browsing, uploading/downloading, and community extensions.
