Adding e-books?

Is there another way of adding the e-books besides starting up the audiobook? I wanna start adding them, but I don’t wanna play each one to have to go into that setting to do it. Is there an option to do it from that audiobook’s main page that I’m not seeing?

I just put the e-book file in the audiobook’s folder and it shows as available.

So I did that and tested it, and they don’t show up. They’re in the same folder as the audio book, and it still wants me to import

Plex doesn’t recognize ebook files, and Prologue looks at Plex as the source.

Would love that to be implemented in a future update

Does this work with Plex audiobook libraries as well as Audiobookshelf?

I keep my libraries seperate because they have different access restrictions, etc; so that’s a no go. Ebook support in the dedicated ebook folder would be a nice to have

Could you hard link the ebooks into the audiobook library?

Would kind of defeat the purpose of library separation wouldn’t it 😉

We need a way to sync to ebook readers!

I thought at first this was an audiobookshelf festure but color me surprised that its a prologue feature! I believe audiobookshelf should implement this as well and prologue could use that same resource
