I want to get away from audible to save money and for privacy. I would like to keep buying audiobooks if possible and host them on my server to stream to my android phone.
I have an unraid plex server at home. Suggestions for hosting and streaming solutions?
Everyone loves audiobookshelf, but since you mentioned Plex, I thought I’d let you know that you can use Plex to host your audiobooks too.
Here’s a guide:

I use Prologue for IOS to listen to them.
I have a plex setup too, using Prologue.
I never listen to audiobooks using Plex, and prologue manages listening state just fine for me.
I use an iphone, and this is my set up too. Does android have a prologue app?
Just wanted to kention that plex does not detect chaptee marks in m4b files and will not keep your progress if you switch to some other media.
Those are the 2 reasons I personally switched to Audiobookshelf. Which coincidentally is also a lot better at managing audiobook metadata since plex mostly treats audiobooks as music.
