I've been a Readarr user with two instances(ebooks, and audiobooks) for a long time now. But more and more often, files get unlinked in the database making it less and less useful as a way to track what books I have vs "wanted," which is my main use case.

I've been trying to convert to LazyLibrarian, but boy people weren't exaggerating when they said the configuration is unclear. Unfortunately the docs do not clear it up. Interesting I'm what y'all are doing!

I just use calibre locally. What are the benefits of using something server-based? Can you sync books to your ereaders?

We use calibre-web-automated and have Kobo's that we can sync with it. It's fantastic.

I'm gonna be honest, I wasn't using Readarr before it was depreciated. I didn't like how it would add every book by an author and clog up the dashboard.

I've always just used Prowlarr to fetch whatever book I wanted from MAM and import automatically it into Kavita.
