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.

Also consider your local library for books (and other media I guess). I think a lot of them have some kind of deal set up for ebooks too.
Unfortunately most use Libby/Overdrive which puts DRM on the books and only lets you read through their clunky app or kindle.
There are ways to remove DRM. Maybe there is even a plugin for Calibre which does that automatically.
