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!

Is that an issue though ? I have about 100 books on my Kobo and so does my parter on her Kindle (that never uses wifi to connect to Amazon and when it does die will get a Kobo) , she jumps on Calibre infrequently to say the least. Then dumps abother 50 books on. Calibre Library is on a tiny portable nvme (backed up to a HDD) that can be used on her laptop or my desktop.

I also use my local libray via wifi (anywhere) for loaner books.on the kobo but so many books on my nvme I'm overwhelmed..and i walk to my local actual library around the corner once a month to make sure its still there as a valuable tool and there's still something to browsing past dead trees.

I mean, it's not an issue, but it has been fun to build out and use. We're also going to the library in town just about weekly, so the service may be overkill if you don't want it.
