How do I go about getting an author's entire collection.

BraBraBra@lemmy.world to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 34 points –

I want to download entire collections of authors for my mother, so she always has something to read.

For example, she likes nora Roberts. That's over 200 books. Can I automate this?

You can absolutely do that with Readarr.

Assuming you have the right indexers configured.

And where are these book oriented indexers you speak of?! The ones I have are very much geared towards tv & movie.

No OP but I'd appreciate it :)

So there's no ddl option? I mean, getting into a private tracker just for books is overkill. Like Anna's Archive is right there.

Libgen has everything. Just set the search to "fiction" and select by author.

The "...In Death" series she published under the pseudonym JD Robb used to be on piratebay with a continuously updated archive, that were 70+ books already back when I read them. No clue if it's still being seeded/updated though.

So no automation with ddl. Let's see how receptive they are to integrating hatt.

Readarr pulls from Prowlarr and is beholden to what the indexers return. You can always DDL, just do it outside of Readarr.

So that's a no on the automation, right?

I mean I've never tried to integrate a DDL provider with Readarr so idk. Check their wiki and see what they say.

I see lazylibrarian supports libgen. Seems like that's my solution.
