  • I ended up spinning up audiobookshelf. It’s fine for audiobooks, and I immediately installed Lissen (alongside ABS) and it is clearly preferable to me.

    Lissen does not recognize ebooks at all, and I also didn’t have success with the comic book I tested on the ABS client, so I may try another service for those. For now audiobooks are the higher priority and I am very happy with those. Thanks for the input - I really appreciate it.












  • I don’t think you’re who they’re targeting - at least not with this.

    This is targeting the large portion of the population that may have difficulty obtaining identification through a somewhat arduous process.

    • Anyone who is not a citizen, even with proper documentation of residency.
    • Anyone without a secure way to store documents long term. Not everybody has access to birth certificate and Social Security information. Someone in an abusive relationship, for example.
    • Anyone without permanent housing.
    • Anyone with insecure or unusual housing - they require current utility bills in an individual’s name. Think of a large family of 10 or 12 people. How would they each separately provide two proofs of address?
    • Anyone with limited English language skill, including native speakers with poor education.
