I love my sonarr and radarr setup. But readarr seems to not be working so well. Is there a guide on how to get it to be more reliable in grabbing books? And while I am at it, how do I manage audio AND ebooks?

    Automation for books is kinda weird. It’s not like a TV Series where new episodes come out every week. I wanted to like readarr but I don’t see the utility. Anna’s Archive and IRC are your best options.

      I’d argue it would be more suited for weekly/monthly magazines.
      But for books alone I’d prefer manual work and calibre to organize it.

      I had to google IRC piracy because I couldn’t believe this was still a thing in 2023. Seems super easy to use as well. And have been hearing about ZLib. Maybe I don’t need book automation after all.
