supports podcasts too? what tool are you using to download those? and does ABS handle the sorting/meta data the same way it does for audio books?
Comment on Best option for hosting ebooks and audiobooks?

+1 for audiobookshelf
I use it for audiobooks and podcasts.
Does it support ebooks? Never known.
Anyway I wouldn’t use it for ebooks, better to use a dedicated reader. Even if they seems to be the same stuff (books) they really are not as one is pure audio and other pure text. Way different way to use them that I think no good reader supports both formats at once in a satisfactory way.

Yes, its plug and play easy peasy. Search and download directly inside abs

i assume that’s just for free podcasts?

Never tried with non free podcasts…
Maybe if you can specify authentication in the URL it can work? Or you manually upload them.

Audiobookshelf for sure. It handles audiobooks fabulously, and it also does handle ebooks.
I use it to manage my eBook library, but not as the reader. You can set up a “send to ereader” option to email the ebooks to your reader of choice. So I just shoot them off to my pocketbook ereader when I want to read one.
