Your e-books and audiobooks on your own server, to read and listen to in the browser. One container, SQLite, and your books stay plain files in your folders. The library is a shelf of spines, a shelf for each genre, with covers and a sortable list one switch away. One book holds all its editions: EPUB, AZW3 and MOBI of a book are one edition, and the e-book and the audiobook stand side by side, each with its own place. The reader opens EPUB, MOBI, AZW3 and PDF. The player plays an audiobook of many files as one, with chapters, speed and a sleep timer. Several people each have their own place, wish list and reading stack, and the operator sees neither progress nor history. Browse shelves by topic, best sellers and the gaps in your series, and every author has a page with all their works. With your own indexers and a download program nexbooks can fetch books: it judges every hit by

Health score?A 0-100 score computed nightly from four factors: maintained (40%: recent commits and steady activity), popular (25%: GitHub stars, log scale), easy to install (20%: platforms, install notes, setup guides, Docker image) and light to run (15%: minimum RAM, ARM support). When the source code has been checked, a fifth factor, security check (20%: automated scan for committed secrets, unsafe desktop-app settings, known-vulnerable dependencies and project hygiene; any serious finding caps it at 20), is added. Factors without data are left out and the rest are rescaled.
