I'm looking to make my ebook library web accessible.  I've tried
'calibre-web' but it was a little buggy and difficult to keep running,
when it ran it was great though.

 I was going to try altescy/bookshelf, but thought I may put it out to
the group for recommendations.

I use [kavita](https://www.kavitareader.com/), can be self hosted via
docker looks good and works great for my use case.

\+1 for Kavita. It works great for eBooks. I just wish it would do
audio books as well.

Calibre, the best in a sea of bad options.

Audiobookshelf works pretty decent.

Running calibre-web here without issue. I'm curious what issues did
you have?

That's what I use for audio books. It's not too shabby.

it kept crashing.  Seemed that every time I wanted a book it was down,
which took an hour or so of investigation.

​

When I re-imaged the device I just didnt install it.

I use komga, which can be hosted via docker.

\+1 more for Audiobookshelf.  Just started using it for podcasts too
and it's working nicely

Sorry to hear that, I've been running it for years with a massive
ebook library using the linuxserver docker container and it's been
rock solid for me.

I use the same docker image. Also rock solid.
