Type of Enhancement

Web Interface/Frontend

Describe the Feature/Enhancement

Rename the Media Type: Books to Media Type: Audiobooks to avoid confusion.

Why would this be helpful?

If you use the word "Books", the terms can mean that you can be adding a ebook. ABS is primarily a Audiobook sever and secondarily a Podcast Server. There are other self-hosting services like Kavita and Komga that handle eBooks.

@nichwall commented on GitHub (Nov 11, 2025):

Ebooks can be added as individual items to a library, though. There are other dedicated servers for it but standalone ebooks are supported.
