A self-hosted server for ebooks, comics, and audiobooks that adds neural reading voices and can appear inside Plex.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-25 issue.

Field notes

The server indexes EPUB, CBZ, CBR, PDF, M4B, and MP3 material, with reading positions, annotations, metadata controls, and collection features described on the homepage. EPUB speech can use built-in device voices or a self-hosted Kokoro server, while audiobooks retain embedded chapter markers and stream without re-encoding. A separate Plex Patcher modifies Plex's Web sidebar after backing up its original index file.
