Generate a massive eBook Library

Hi guys I'm asking for assistance in a very specific topic, creating a large eBook Collection.

I want to create a big library for my parents to be able to pick and choose books from, I have a place already that has a lot of eBooks available in great format, but I wasn't able to find a solution on how to get all/most of these downloaded locally, put in some understandable categories and generating some description for them.

I'm self-hosting stuff on an old HP Server in a TrueNAS Scale Environment so I'm mainly looking for things available in TrueCharts, but anything outside of that would be great too.

What I'm specifically looking for is the following:

\- Get all the available eBooks from the site and download a unique copy of it, no matter the author, title, genre, etc

\- Sort them by writer, or genre

\- Collect metadata for the book if it's not already available in the ePUB file

\- Make this library available to a reader application to android devices

Long story short, I want to create a huge library of eBooks for my parents as they can't do much else besides reading.

So far I've tried Readarr but the metadata servers are currently down, Lazy Librarian but I didn't find a method to mass add anything to the wanted queue, and I've also used Ubooquity to make the books available to Moon Reader application. This is basically where my experiences end.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
