I've tried the a number of the ones being mentioned, but the best for me has been Audio bookshelf . It has a good mobile app, allows collections, tries to pull Metadata, offline reading for the apps, etc.

Basic ebook support and ereader (epub, pdf, cbr, cbz) + send to device (i.e. Kindle)

Biggest issue is the folder/book structure is very opinionated and isn't the easiest to work with.
