Realized my family was spending more than $200/mo on streaming and other media sources. Been a while, but I’m sailing the high seas again. Ethically, I agree with “Piracy.” Fuck Disney with a cactus. Functionally, it’s a service problem for me.

Currently running Readarr, Calibre, Sabnzbd, Qbittorrent. Have Drunkenslug, NZBgeek, 1337x, TPB as indexers.

My results aren’t great for books. Lot of titles aren’t automatically found. Readarr and Calibre integration is janky. My indexers don’t have a lot of titles.

I can manually search on Anna’s Archive or Libgen and find what I want. However, for the rest of my family to really use it, it needs to be easy like the rest of my setup.

Lazylibrarian?

Can someone please recommend a toolchain for automated book grabbing?

I don’t mind spending a few bucks a month/year for quality and ease of use.

    Yeah okay. That is the system I tried first. Glad it worked for you so cleanly. My network tab was inconsistent of grabbing stuff for some reason, but Libby also doesn’t seem to work through certain VPNs so seems like it’s all somewhat sensitive. Maybe I’ll give it a shot again!
