Reading progress syncs to iCloud so you can listen on your iPhone and iPad without losing your place. Instead of having to upload your books manually, you log into your Plex server and all of your books are available to stream or download offline.

Once everything is set up, the Prologue app becomes the best audiobook app on the App Store. There is a step by step guide to setting it up on the Plex Forums. While Plex doesn't support it by default, it's a fairly straightforward process to add a section to your library for books. Once I found out that it was possible to put these files into Plex, it became an audiobook dream setup for me.

I will often find cheaper copies of CD books from Amazon and then use Audiobook Builder to combine them into an M4B format which works great for audiobooks. I have been subscribed to Audible since 2008 and have listened to hundreds of books during that time. I've been a fan of audiobooks for as long as I can remember.

Earlier this year, I added a new type of media to my server: Plex Audiobooks with the Prologue app. Plex is an essential part of my TV and movie media life. I then completed my configuration with a Backblaze subscription so that everything was saved. After that I used an Nvidia Shield for several years and recently migrated to an Intel NUC with a 14TB external drive to house all my media. I installed my first Plex server on an older MacBook Pro I had, and it worked fine for several years. When I moved in 2013 I decided I was done with physical media for TV shows and movies and ripping all my DVDs digitally.
