I discovered Audiobookshelf over the weekend and it seems like the ultimate self hosted solution for audiobook and ebook management. Mobile apps, user accounts for the kids, great metadata support.
Audiobookshelf has become a key service in my self hosted stack. I use it primarily for podcast management and it’s been wonderful. I use plappa on iOS as my client and the offline support is stellar. I’m building a FreeBSD port for it too so it can have a forever home on my stable server.

Love audiobookshelf! Though I've struggled to find good copies of audiobooks that aren't ~$50...
Second the other poster's Libro.fm suggestion. Also downpour.com. (Cheaper but not quite as wide of a selection as Libro.fm.)
Libro.fm is worth looking into, you can support authors and local bookstores.
