are there any good alternatives to Z-library? All the alternatives I've looked at have a very poor selection of books

Most things you'd want can be found with Anna's Archive (which indexes zlib and libgen plus sci-hub) and the Internet Archive.

yeah i don't like calibre, generally i download an epub and print it in pdf on A3, it's really better ergonomically and aesthetically.

you have to make an account on their onion net website (via tor browser or something similar), then they will give you a personalized url that you can use on a normal browser
don't share the personalized url with anybody else or you're a nigger

not even tor browser, just from a regular link. Also, you don't need the personal url anymore, just an account

>> No.22111467

There is the onion address, the app (dunno how safe, bit very convenient, the telegram bot (stops working sonetimes and get's reaktivated [(?) Dunno if they finally purged it] just for zlib. It's far from gone. Would be great if you already habe an account. I don't know if you can register right now.

I would also look into irc. There are some guides about it on reddit I suppose. If you can get behind it it should be really nice.

Naaah. It might look grim but there are still forces fighting the good fight. If corporations really take over all the internet we can still go to i2p, tor etc. There will always be a a way but you certainly have to work harder, but the harder we work more they struggle. They are the metal, we are the corrosion. They are fighting a fight against entropy; it's futile no matter the amount of money they throw at it and we know that they throw at least money as possible into that direktion. The more numerous hacks if big tech is only the beginning one could think.
