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).

Semi-related, can these automations really be relied upon for quality, or is there a system to help find the best copy? When I'm downloading books I do it manually through Anna's Archive and I always download as many unique versions of a book that I see, then open them all and compare their internals to see which one I keep. Often not many ebooks are suitable for using my own font and layouts with Koreader.

Same. I wouldn't trust an automated system. There's too much variation between book releases. It isn't like downloading video.
