Audiobooks have decent support on the web and app from my brief tests, and yep jellyfin app works for reading books too, its a minimal interface but it works i guess, got a font bigger and smaller button, a few color schemes and a chapter index

    Yeah, Navidrome looks interesting. I use Plex for everything now (though it doesn't do books) but I kinda want to, as a project, acquire a used Intel 8th/later gen i3 or i5 workstation, throw Linux on it, and run my servers off of that, and just be able to remote in from my desktop. So if I did that, I'd probably run Jellyfin for movies/TV (with Plex as a backup until it's not viable... I feel like it won't be for long), Navidrome for music, and some others.

    Skimming the changes, I see Jellyfin supports books? Like text and comics. So I gotta ask, how's the audiobook support?

    I'm a Plex user who has used Jellyfin in the past, and I feel like I had to hack audiobook support into Plex. It works, but it's not great. A book server would be interesting to run, though I'm personally more interested in audiobooks for consumption. Books would be an interesting service to offer.

    So then it begs the question, is a Jellyfin app (iOS or Android) also a book reader now? If not (as I imagine), is there a dedicated book app? And, does it have the magical feature of having a book keep progress with the audiobook? I think that is the killer feature.

    I think you can allow others to relicense your code, that's what permissive licenses effectively do.

    EUPL does not seem to do that however. It only lists other copyleft licenses that are compatible with it (IDK why it's done this way).

    I also personally changed to the EUPL where I would normally use a GPL. As I understand it the EUPL aligns more closely with actual (European) law. Recent events have persuaded me to alugn more with that than theoretical US law.
