Am using Calibre and audiobookshelf. I’d love a solution where I can search the actual contents of the books.
Like being able to search for topics inside all of my books.
Would be a cool AI feature - similar to how immich works.
yeah I’m only talking about ebooks - I just mentioned audiobookshelf because it can also do ebooks and I’ve read here that people use it as a ebook management thing

Keep the actual epubs and search in those? (You basically want a transcript of a read out book…which is the book itself.)
He wants all of his books in one index.
And I think they want a solution that’ll index audio books, too. An LLM that’ll listen to, transcribed, and index audio books.
Audiobooks have a simple workaround if you can find a version of the book in text format to download, just index that.
Sure. I’m just saying, I think OP is looking for something that doesn’t require either buying the book again or pirating it.
