Maybe I'm a retard for not understanding the sticky, but I can't get any book downloads to work. Are the e-books only for kindles or smartphones? If possible, I'd like to just be able to read a book on my computer.

Pic obviously not related.

okay what you need to do is actually get the book to download, to do this (the sites are self-explanatory, you just click the download button on your book) you're gonna want to get yourself an IRC client, download MIRC. from there you're gonna load it up and be pretty confused. click 'File' and 'Select Server' from here find Undernet (in the top 10), click on the country that best describes you and then let that bitch load nawmsayn? alright so now a lil box is gonna pop up 'n' shit and its gonna say 'enter channel' and you'll be like wtfmangidontevenknowwhatchanneliwannajoin you wanna join '#bookz# mah nigga, so type that in, hash tag and all. Now its gonna load a motherfucking chat up thats gonna be busy as fuck.

The first rule of #bookz
no fucking talking you fat slut, you get what you need and go, you don't wait for no after fucking cuddle or some stupid shit like dat, #based

so you're gonna look at what everyone else is typing, then you're gonna decide to give this a go for yourself.

let's see. you wanna download 1984 right? shit's good
so you're gonna go like this
@search orwell
search for demo orwell titles

now you're gonna get a file transfer message (make sure dat file transferring is eabled in yo options and shit dawg)
then you gonna accept dat file and open it up, it's gonna be a list of books with some random shit on either side.
you're gonna find one of those you like the look of, copy the whole entire line and then paste that shit in the #bookz chat.

anudda file transfer thing'll come up after this nawmean and dats when you accept dat file.

WAIT A MINUTE NIGGA HOLD UP AND SHIT THIS AIN'T WORKIN

aight i gets you homie, you either trying to get a book fromm a bot who ain't even in da fucking chat rite now nawmean (in which case you wanna liek choose anudda line from that text file it sent you) or you copy and pasting too much or too lil info. Look @ what everyone else is pasting to get an idea.

Assuming you're actually downloading the files, you can just use calibre (a program) to convert them to whatthefuckever form you want to run them in on your computer. PDF, word, you name it.

Okay I have everything working, and I'm looking at book titles here, and I don't know which one to get. None of them have worked so far, and I don't know the difference between one with html on the end or epub. What would the best option be? Also, I see that the majority of people are talking to idiotbot. Should I try to get a book from that bot instead?

General attention-whoring, unwarranted self-importance, and regular off-topic-ness in his threads. It's not like he's much worse than your average user here (and he's certainly not the worst), it's just that we can see his name so we know it's him every time he does something that the user base doesn't like.

>> No.1948623

>>1948604
well before you guys try to ban him, you should know that he just spent like half an hour helping me figure out how to get books through the irc program, and he asked nothing in return.

>> No.1948641

>>1948623
He was paid in attention.

That attention-whoring bastard should go back to being banned
