Google play books already has an auto read feature so no need for audio books if they go the Ai route. Just add the epubs you want to your Google library and let it read then to you.

    Librera is a great Google Play Books alternative, and the auto read voice is much better.

    It sounds great but doesn't look like it syncs across devices or have web browser accessible features, both things I make heavy use of.

    BookFusion isn’t self hosted but I’ve been enjoying it since there aren’t many alternatives. Syncs across devices, has iOS and android apps, and can read on web browsers.
