What are you using for audiobook requests? I also recently setup arr stack, but I saw readarr is depreciated and there doesn't seem to be a clear successor.

After reading a lot of reddit threads I settled on ReadMeABook[0] and it has been working great so far. One pretty cool feature is that it lets you connect an LLM API key and then you can have it make requests based on your library. I now have Fable 5.1 suggesting my next book.

Hello Mantis. Question: what do you do with the books? Is there kindle integration somehow?

I think most folks lean on Calibre for that. I've setup KOReader on my wife's Kobo and it looks at our local Calibre server for books.

I use it for audiobooks. They are served up by Plex and I use the Prologue iOS app which is a great audiobook listening experience.

Chaptarr is great! Just had their public release after a long alpha testing phase

Could you share a link to source code/repo? I couldn't find it

https://github.com/Chaptarr/chaptarr maybe?

It’s been a while since I used it but lazylibrarian has worked for me in the past.

I tried shelfarr as well with some success a while back, but haven’t needed any new books lately since I’m busy catching up on the books I’ve downloaded (the Bible is long lol).

If you don’t want to commit to one of the vibecoded no community arr clones for books then i recommend shelfmark. Lightweight grabber, easy to start with, easy to rip out later.
