Hello fellow self-hosters. I’m currently self-hosting the servarr stack, including jellyseer, radarr/sonarr, prowlarr transmission, and jellyfin. It works great.
I now want to expand my system into ebooks as well. I have readarr already set up, but it is too complicated for my wife. I’ve also tried calibre, which is great for ebook management,and Kavita, which is a lovely ebook server and reader. But I’m looking for something like “jellyseer for ebooks” that shows what’s currently popular and makes it easy for the user to make requests and have those requests sent to an automated backend for downloading. Additionally, it should work well from a phone, and it would be ideal if it could download from Library Genesis.
