Automated ebook advice. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

I joined MyAnonaMouse and there have been very very few books that I can't find, and if they don't have it you can always request it on the forums. If you don't want to go through the hassle of registering or getting an invite (DM me if you need one) I don't know if there are any book specific nzb indexers that would work.

MyanonaMouse is like going to heaven without dying for a book nerd.

It really is, if it ever went down it would feel like going back to caveman times

That would definitely be going backwards, I'm relatively new there, I've been using public torrent sites until earlier this year.

Public torrent sites will only get you so far but you can find a surprising amount of books and audiobooks on them.
