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

    I’m actually working on an all in one solution that sort of fills the roles of Readarr AND Calibre - without all the baggage of the latter.

    Oh, and of course a KOReader library plugin that foregoes OPDS and works like the Kindle interface (“available books” synced from this backend, one tap downloads them, plus potentially adding series handling too in the future).

    But right now it’s mostly manual downloads + CWA ingest + OPDS via KOReader.

        why would I try a book REQUESTING system when I’m working on my own AIO solution?

          One of the benefits of Free Software is that you can copy and improve the good parts of other Free software into your own, reducing the required effort.

            Uhm, no.

            Only if the licence allows. I personally go for A/GPLv3 wherever I can because I don’t want corporations to just take and not contribute back. But that means I can’t just copy MIT/Apache software, need to do my own implementation from scratch. Which I prefer anyway.
