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.
That sounds awesome! How do you sync to the Kobo?
I followed this guide! https://jccpalmer.com/posts/setting-up-kobo-sync-with-calibre-web/
Thanks!
As in sync position wirelessly ?? that would rock.
Yes! Its so good. I followed this guide. https://jccpalmer.com/posts/setting-up-kobo-sync-with-calibre-web/
Both my wife and I have our own devices and they sync really well.
Oh Boy, Oh Boy, Oh Boy !!
Thanks for the link, that’s so happening.
Not a problem! It’s been great, I just had to make sure I was converting the books to kepub beforehand!
Other than it being convenient to access your books from multiple machines, a big feature of a server based solution is for my wife to download what she wants from our library.
