LazyLibrarian is a program to follow authors and grab metadata for all your digital reading needs.
It uses a combination of Goodreads Librarything and optionally GoogleBooks as sources for author info and book info. License: GNU GPL v3
Right now it's capable of the following:
* Import an existing calibre library (optional)
* Find authors and add them to the database
* List all books of an author and mark ebooks or audiobooks as 'wanted'.
* LazyLibrarian will search for a nzb-file or a torrent or magnet link for that book
* If a nzb/torrent/magnet is found it will be sent to a download client or saved in a black hole where your download client can pick it up.
* Currently supported download clients for usenet are :
- sabnzbd (versions later than 0.7.x preferred)
- nzbget
- synology_downloadstation
* Currently supported download clients for torrent and magnets are:
- deluge
- transmission
- utorrent
- qbittorrent
- rtorrent
- synology_downloadstation
* When processing the downloaded books it will save a cover picture (if available) and save all metadata into metadata.opf next to the bookfile (calibre compatible format)
* The new theme for the site allows it to be accessed (and usable) from devices with a smaller screen (such as an iPad)
* AutoAdd feature for book management tools like Calibre which must have books in flattened directory structure, or use calibre to import your books into an existing calibre library
* LazyLibrarian can also be used to search for and download magazines, and monitor for new issues



LazyLibrarian runs by default on port 5299 at http://localhost:5299
Linux / Mac OS X:
Fill in all the config (see Configuration Wiki for full configuration)
Start in daemon mode with python LazyLibrarian.py -daemon
Fairly limited so far (any help appreciated)
There is a wiki at https://github.com/DobyTang/LazyLibrarian/wiki
and a reddit at https://www.reddit.com/r/LazyLibrarian/
This is the bare minimum to get you up and running. For more options see the Configuration Wiki.
Check some or all of the torrent provider boxes.
In "Folders | Base Destination Folder" type the directory where you want to keep the books LazyLib downloads. For example putting a books folder in Documents. The system documents folder for windows is "C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Books\" where USERNAME is your Windows User Name.
Open localhost:5299/home or click the LazyLibrarian icon in the top left. Type a book or author name into the top right search bar. Then on the search results screen select "Add Book" to make LazyLib start searching for the book. Not all books can be found instantly, but LazyLib will keep searching!
