Since Kickass is gone, where do you get your books?

From kibrary

Amazon

IRC

look up the tutorial on reddit if you aren't familiar with it.

>>8338792
Flibusta. It's mostly in russian though.

>>8338806
Can you give me a link?

The library

>>8338792
2nd hand bookstores

>>8338872
>Deseret industries
Where in UT
Lit meetup

>>8338792
amazon
local bookstore
library

>>8338872
Thriftbooks is my favorite. Usually very cheap and you get to know which edition you are getting.

>>8338882
I go to one in LA, there's like 3 or 4 around here. Deseret does sound like a good spot for a meet up though, if any socalfags would actually go

Second hand copies can be easily found/bought for less than five dollars. Unless you somehow managed to get super powers, I don't understand why I should download 25 Go worth of books I'll never, ever open.

mobilism.org
gen.lib.rus.ec

>>8338900
I had no idea they were outside of UT
Does lit have meet ups?

#bookz, but that was over a year ago. I've taken to buying books but honestly it gets a bit draining, so I might switch back.

Soulseek

Library, Amazon, sometimes a book store


I'm a huge proponent of copyright infringement / free media, but at the end of the day I prefer physical copies of books

>>8338797

>>8338945
I said that. You didn't say it.

Bookzz, piratebay, through friends, etc.
Sometimes i buy the books i really like

>>8338792
Damn, when did it go down?

There are shit loads of other places to get books. No idea where to get films anymore though.

>>8338792

putin torrents

>>8339626
>not just getting literally any ebook reader program for your computer and setting something like a dark background and a slightly lighter color for the letters

idiots will always find excuses, I've been reading for years exclusively on my phone and computer and I have 0 problems

>>8338865
reddit has tons of links for torrenting textbooks. google "reddit textbooks torrents"

>>8339404
I think that means I won, if I'm reading the rules correctly.

>>8339605
Do you write for The New Yorker?

>>8338792
nothing beats a real book

do none of you know about libgen?...

>>8341402
that's what i'm thinking lol

tried this irc thing today and it's not as good imo

>>8341407
#bookz has everything libgen does. Libgen is for the beginner.
slsk, irc, wherever else. But a lot of good stuff you can't get online anyway.

The Book Depository.

Amazon usually, bibliotik if I dont wanna pay.

I purchase content.

I have no problem with that.

Buy them and get some off private trackers.

How come it's so hard to find a lot of books from torrent sites, even private ones?

I mean, you can easily find basically any film in existence, but it can be hard to find even a fairly popular canonical authors works.

>>8339328
If you like you can replace "wrong" with "dumb."

>>8341828
Entitlement is my favorite word.

I'm guessing it's not yours, too.

>>8341418

Soulseek is also not bad

>>8341828
>How come it's so hard to find a lot of books

There's a lot more books than there are films, and a lot more books come out per year than films. I'd imagine this is at least partially related to the amount of effort required to put out a film (hundreds of people working, investing millions of $$$) compared to writing and publishing a book.

It also has to do with the size of the audience. A lot more people are into films than books, so you have a bigger fanbase working to pirate a smaller amount of items.

>>8339015
go to gay porn

>>8343813
I would do gay porn but I got fat. And I'm too self-conscious.

Otherwise, if I would've at least charged to have sex and have been an escort, I would be rich.

I gave it away for free, and I didn't get much back in return.

>>8339147
just literally google *movie name* torrent...if it isn't a popular release from the last 18 months you'll get legit hits
