Plex shows 1261 books:

While ABS shows only 1245 books:

They both use the same audiobooks folder, so what could be the reason for missing books? As far as I can remember, my books are either in M4B/M4A (single or multiple) or MP3 (single or multiple) formats. Are there any formats that ABS doesn't recognize?

Audiobookshelf supports 'm4b', 'mp3', 'm4a', 'flac', 'opus', 'mp4'.

All audiobooks must be in their own folder. Scanner log files are stored in /metadata/logs/scans/, might be worth looking at that.

Ah, okay. Will check the logs and report back if I find anything or have a question. Cheers.

The scans didn't show any errors. Performing a re-scan.

I'll let you know. December's busy for me and I am taking a break from listening to books. Will resume in January and then test out both your server and app. Cheers.
