Just in case you wanna try again with readarr, after all the little drama and the main app being unmaintained, there’s 2 forks which are maintained and work pretty well
I’ve successfully been running bookshelf for a bit now, after the original stopped working for me completely.
I'll keep them in mind, but I stopped using readarr because the sonarr/radarr approach didn't work for me for books. I read individual books more than subscribe to everything an author does, and manually downloading them is not really a problem.
