is there something for books and audiobooks in particular?

i am hoping for a audible-like experience which can easily be created using booksonic and other servers but the retrieval part is the most troublesome imo.

movies and tv shows have the best experience

There is: https://lazylibrarian.gitlab.io/

Libgen has almost everything I need and when it doesn’t I can usually find it in #bookz on undernet. If all else fails, bookfinder.com usually knows about used copies. I don’t have the luxury of an English speaking public library where I live.

There is also Readarr, which has a similar interface to the other *arr software.

It was in it's pretty early stages last time i checked it out, but that was a couple years back now.

niether do i. i did manage to get a libby account so that has helped me by a lot but still....

does LL support audiobooks search from torrents? nice. i might have to give this a look afterall

If you want audiobooks, nothing beats myanonamouse.net.

They're a semi-private tracker, registration is open, but you have to actually read the rules, go on IRC and answer a few rules-related questions. It takes a few hours, but it's definitely worth the effort IMO. The amount of content they have is pretty staggering, and I don't think I found a single unseeded torrent so far.

They also offer ebooks, but Anna's Archive and Libgen have a bigger selection of those.

ah.... that brings back old memories.

i've beem a MaM user since 2017. you can't automate it i think. i used a seedbox back when to get a bunch of points so yeah i get your point
