Where do i go for free bookz?

Here's a pretty nice list: http://www.reddit.com/r/trackers/comments/hrgmv/tracker_with_pdfsebooks_of_college_textbooks/c1xrq44 Please don't ban me for linking reddit ;__;

go to the undernet irc and join the #bookz channel

>>332 reddit is decent if you ignore the comments, only newfags and /b/tards seriously thinks there is any rivalry

>>350 And just stick to nicer subreddits. The large ones are horrible.

>>332 Woah thats usefull, thanks lainon

The library

Buying used books on Amazon doesn't usually cost too much.

>>406 Kindle versions are often cheap as well, and you can rip them with calibre and share them with the world.

Gutenburg web site

bookzz.org

Personally, I use libgen.org

>>424 Seconded. It is amazing.

>>354 >>406 >>362 these are all good I get most of my books in second-hand shops and form libgen. I have found a bags of books in the garbage room of the apartment complex I live in.

>>580 WHAT KIND OF RAT BUSTED PSYCHO SON OF A BITCH THROWS BOOKS TO THE GARBAGE!!!???

>>581 there is a certain landfill, I do not recall where, that consists of hundreds of thousands of books. A certain publishing house had a surplus and dumped all their extra books there. :'(

>>791 >publishing house They do not deserve the title.

>>331 http://libgen.in/

>>581 Books are not a sacred thing, and it's stupid thinking that they are any better than, for example, movies, which I assume you have no problem throwing to the garbage

>>827 I really like IRC for soykaf like this. Undernets #bookz was already mentioned but it sometimes doesn't work for me so I mainly use #ebooks at IRCHighWay for my downloading. A couple of months ago I found bookzz.org which is pretty good, but I have the feeling that sites like this are killed when the copyright fascists find out so it will probably disappear eventually.

>>827 They are not sacred, but they can be useful. Most discarded books are those who belong to public domain, since the publishing houses hold no monopoly over them. And they are usually good reads.

>>827 The only reason to throw away movies more readily is that they wear out more easily, and when damaged are harder to repair.

4th year undergrad here, i think libgen may have just saved my butt

>>827 I don't know why I'd ever throw away a movie, and I especially don't know why I'd throw away a book.

get an irc client. go to IRChighway join channel #ebooks and then in the chat type @search "author or book title" you will get a .zip with a .txt file filled with all the books from that author. once you find the book you want copy and paste the title (everything before –info) into the chatroom. you then be sent your book.

>>889 the guide i used https://www.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/2oftbu/guide_the_idiot_proof_guide_to_downloading_ebooks/

>>580 Keeping in mind how few Norwegians there are in total, I'm amazed by how large the presence is on the internet. Chans in particular (I figured because of the "MOMO eller kampen om tiden" title.) Or maybe it's just because fuarrrkers like me like to shout "HEY, HEY, ARE YOU NORWEGIAN? COOOOOL." every time we see someone who we think is a norwegian/swedfag/danskjævel. Anyway; I'd also like to recommend the gentoomen library. It's got some neat CS books (which are very relevant on this chan I guess.) Link: http://books.gentoomen.org/

Lots of programming books: http://it-ebooks.info/

>>1340 thanks, bro. very good resource

Excuse me, but are there any new links for library sites? Many of these seem to be rather dead.

>>1468 http://gen.lib.rus.ec

>>1469 Much obliged, anon.

>>331 project gutenberg is a good site for classical lit if your into that stuff.

>>1343 They are watermarked, tho. But you can remove it with sed.
