What’s your ebook download automation pipeline? And what do you use for library management — calibre, calibre-web, something else?

    LazyLibrarian x2 instances, 1 for audiobooks and 1 for comics and ebooks. Nothing else needed, it uses Prowlarr to check all indexers.

    I have a script that converts everything to epub, even epubs to ensure characters are utf8.

    Download books from libgen, Anna’s archive, torrents. Move (sftp) to a watched folder on my pi4 that’s running calibre and then download from server using moon reader.

      I recently switched from manual downloads to Shelfmark, and I highly recommend it, makes downloading books so much easier, especially from Anna’s Archive.

      I looked into Moon+ Reader, and I would recommend readest instdead.

    I just manually transfer books to my reader when I get them. I have them organized by genre on my reader (done manually). This is not an area where I see automation providing any significant benefit to bother setting up and maintaining an automated pipeline.

      I don’t think I can read books fast enough to make automation attractive either, haha. I break DRM on Calibre with two plugins, books purchased from Kobo, and then organize on Komga after manually dragging the files.
