Radarr/Sonarr + Overseerr for audiobooks, all in one

FeaturesSetupScreenshotsDiscord


What is this?

You run Plex or Audiobookshelf with audiobooks. You want more audiobooks. You search indexers, download torrents or NZBs, organize files, wait for your server to scan. ReadMeABook does all of that automatically.

Request a book → Prowlarr searches → qBittorrent or SABnzbd downloads → Files organized → Library imports. Done.

Also includes BookDate: AI recommendations with a Tinder-style swipe interface. Swipe right to request.

User friendly audible-backed searches, multi-file chapter merging, e-book sidecar support, OIDC OAuth, admin approval workflows, and more.

  • Plex or Audiobookshelf
  • Torrents via qBittorrent
  • Usenet via SABnzbd
  • Prowlarr for indexer search (torrents + NZBs)

  • Chapter merging: Multi-file downloads → single M4B with chapters
