But how do you get the audiobooks if you don’t use Readarr?
Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation

Readarr is just a tool that facilitates downloading via bittorrent or usenet. You can just use those the old fashioned way without it.
You can purchase audiobooks too, especially from authors who make them available on DRM-free platforms.
And there’s always librivox.org

No, it’s a hot mess. I only get 6 books a month and she is one and done so it’s manageable to do it manually

The best way I found to do this was using audiobookshelfs upload feature and grabbing the meta data before upload. This sorts the folders for you

It’s sort of weird to upload because it’s already on the hard drive where I want it to go… Just has to get squeezed back and forth through the pipes of my LAN a few times to go through this process.

Yeah it’s not perfect. I normally just download and upload from my phone so works for me but it’s not a very automated or neat solution but it does work and uploads don’t take to long
