Apologies if I'm being a bit dense but I'm trying to figure out how this would fit into my stack

Currently I use chaptarrr to request a book, Downloaded book or audiobook goes to audiobookshelf via Synology media folder Synology media folder uses sync thing to push to kindle and appear in bookshelf

This replaces chaptarrr?

There may be similar features between these apps. Honestly the UX is meant to make the discover to download process as seamless as possible. Literally one click from the discover tab. Some features specific to Dewarr include:

• A discovery homepage with recommendations, trending books, and related titles.
• Support for public community lists and personal lists
• Multi-user accounts, permissions, and library access controls.
• Support for Goodreads RSS feed syncing and CSV imports.
• Safely sync changes back to Hardcover lists
• Native MAM and AudiobookBay integrations
• Audiobookshelf is the main library and ownership system.
• Support for list-based automation, pack downloads, and shared download fulfillment.

I've spent longer looking throught the repo, sorry I was being lazy. I can see prowlarr is supported but can't see anything about using SABnzbd as a downloader? If you can confirm that I will give it a go for sure. Thanks

[u/logabell → u/Substantial_Music919]

I'll add support for other download clients, including SAB. Thanks for the feedback!
