once again, jus like me fr
Now that we don't have zlibrary here are some websites you SHOULDN'T use in ANY circumstances. They let you download books for FREE so you should steer clear of them unless they are legal like some of these:
Archive.org: works like a library but online, gives you access to a book for up to 2 weeks with possibility to extend. It's legal!!
Zlibrary.to: apparently a backup domain for zlibrary or something but completely separated from the normal one bc it's the only one i've found that works. Seems to have less books than the original or they are harder to find, but a big database nonetheless
Libgen: not a very nice interface but it has a lot of books too, zlibrary got many of their books from here
Project gutenberg: over 60 000 free ebooks but mostly books with expired copyright. Seems pretty legal
Oceanofpdf: pretty nice interface but idk the amount of books in there. They believe that knowledge and information should be free and accessible
Pdf drive: over 80 000 000 ebooks in pdf format. Messy interface with overlapping buttons and other things but looks like it could be used to get books easily
Z-epub: has a lot of books but only free domain. This means it's a legal website so it would be good to use
You definitely SHOULD NOT use the sites that aren't mentioned as legal above, I'm just telling you so that you know which ones to avoid!! More sites to avoid in the reblogs
what the fuck do you mean “overstimulated” I acted like that because I absorbed all the noises and stress and textures from the grocery store because I’m an empath
quitting my ed 🔥🔥
reblog if you support drug addicts
i deleted instagram fr this time bc im romanticizing privacy or wtv butmaybe ill download it again in the future bc the format of posting pics like that and having a feed and all is so cute yk
a special and big thank you to an4 tumblr for being my safe place
science is cool
rb if you agree
So z-library is down, which is an absolute tragedy, but for those looking here's a list of alternatives under the cut.
Open Library: this works like an actual library, where there's a waiting list and you can borrow books for x time.
Library Genesis: my personal favourite of the ones in this list, both for entertainment or academic books. Here you can download epubs or other formats, and there's a great ISBN search function.
The Pirate Bay: it doesn't have that many book options, and it has pop up ads, but still a good option.
Sci-Hub: this is for research papers, but you have to type the exact title of what you're looking for.
IT eBooks: books on IT and programming.
Ubooquity: has to be installed to use.
Simon & Schuster: I haven't actually tried this one, but it has a mailing list which you have to sign up to in order to get the books.
eBooks 3000: this doesn't have that many options and there are some pop up ads.
PDF Drive: there's no limits or ads, but it only has PDF formats.
Read Any Book: here you can read books online or download them.
The Eye: sort of an archive with pretty much everything, but you can't search things here, and it's tough to navigate. I think they have audiobooks too.
Audiobook Bay: here you can download audiobooks.
Booksonic: this is for audiobook streaming, and you have to download the app or install the software on your computer.
Tokybook: this one has many options, and it's easy to navigate.
I know none of these are as good as z-library was, but hopefully they'll do the trick. This could really help people, so pass it on and add if you have more!
