    Just found out about this myself and it’s top tier. The best way to find ebooks IMO. If it doesn’t work, use IRC, and if that doesn’t work, sign up for Myanonamouse. And if that doesn’t just buy the fucking thing. Actually, request it from your library first and then use a de-drm tool to keep it forever

    Be sure to scan them too. I’ve had virus total detect one or two things on different books.

    If you use sites like this and you have epubs and pdfs to contribute, make sure that you do! I recently uploaded a book I had access to from my school days for others to use through libgen. I had to search really hard to find it when I didn’t have a lot of money for textbooks. I hope what I uploaded helps others. Be sure to contribute!

    From what I understand, isn’t this site’s Z-Library content taken from the torrent dumps when the site originally got taken off the clearweb? In that case, won’t it be a bit out-of-date?

    I’ve got a book that has been out of print for decades that I’ve painstakingly scanned in page by page. Is there a way I can donate it to the archive?

      seems like this one actually has data from both libgen and zlib, so you can search in one place and get results from both! pretty cool
