Calibre Web (Automated) is a comprehensive web-based tool for managing your ebook collection. While CWA supports an "ingestion folder" to automatically import files into your library, what it can't do, however, is find books on your behalf.

"Calibre Web Automated Book Downloader" is a clever new complimentary tool, which will "seek out and find" ebooks on your behalf, from popular online sources, and automatically save them into CWA's ingestion folder, "closing the loop", so that the book appears in your CWA instance, ready to be sent to your e-reader.

Another popular product used alongside is OpenBooks, which fulfills the same function as Calibre-Web Automated Book Downloader, but using IRC instead of HTTP sources.
