 # Books
 
-The most common organization scheme for books is separation by Audiobook then by Author.
+The bookshelf plugin is required for books libraries.
+
+Books should be organized by type (Audiobooks, Books, Comics), then optionally by Author. Each book should be in their own folder.

-File extensions supported include azw, azw3, cb7, cbr, cbt, cbz, epub, mobi, and pdf.
-
-## Local Metadata
-
-In case the book is stored in the epub format, internal metadata can be provided. For every other format, metadata has to be provided externally in a `content.opf` or `metadata.opf` file. When multiple books have been published by the same author, it is recommended to place each book into a seperate folder. This allows to provide local metadata for every book.
-
-Either the `content.opf` or the `metadata.opf` file can tell Jellyfin which file should be used for the books cover. Usually, this is the `cover.ext` file. The abbreviation `ext` stands for extension, e.g. `.png` or `.jpg`.
-
-## Primary
+For audiobooks, most common audio extensions are supported. For other books, the following formats are supported: azw, azw3, cb7, cbr, cbt, cbz, epub, mobi, pdf, zip, rar, 7z. Read-along audiobooks are not supported by Jellyfin.

+For media in audio formats, the metadata is read from the embedded tags of the audio files. FLAC files with WebP embedded images or ID3 tags might fail to play on some browsers. Enable the `Always remux flac option` in the settings if you are experiencing this problem.
 
-## Logo
+For books in epub format, embedded metadata can be provided, For other formats, the metadata has to be provided in an external `content.opf`, `metadata.opf` or `ComicInfo.xml` file.

-* logo
+Additionally, information about year and issue number can be provided in the file names, as seen in the example above. For comics or magazines with issues across multiple years, the year of the first issue should be used.
