I love my sonarr and radarr setup. But readarr seems to not be working so well. Is there a guide on how to get it to be more reliable in grabbing books? And while I am at it, how do I manage audio AND ebooks?

    how do I manage audio AND ebooks?

    You need two versions of Readarr. Yes, that’s just how it is. Just like if you wanted a 4K and non-4K radarr.

      Butthurt people downvoting you for giving the right answer. It’s frustrating, but it’s cleanest to run two instances of Readarr for two formats (which is why it’s best to run it in containers).

        If you’re sharing with other people who don’t have a 4K screen or don’t have the bandwith to stream 4K, it uses a lot of system resources to transcribe 4K content down to something manageable, so some people find it easier to just keep two copies.
