12ft.io/ worked for me!

If something is priced above what I consider it's worth, I just don't use it.

Tell that to every student who has to pay unreasonable amounts every semester for textbooks...

Privacy versus convenience... For what I know, the most common solution to your concern would be to setup a Calibre server and access it via your Android devices. But that's obviously a tad more complex than uploading EPUBs to Google Books.

Not sure if that helps, but if you've never programmed before, I definitely recommend Automate The Boring Stuff With Python by Al Sweigart. The book is free to read, plus the author is on Reddit (u/alsweigart) and releases free signups to the Udemy course based on the book each month.

Not sure if that's the type of creativity you're looking for, but it's quite common to sell stickers on Etsy, Redbubble and similar sites. Some stores are quite successful on it.

Who said that Zlib is gone? Besides Tor, you can get access to personal domains by sending an email to blackbox [at] zlib [dot] se

I know it may sound scammy, but if you still have a Reddit account I'd go to r/zlibrary and browse the pinned megathread for more info. I really hope that this community will eventually migrate here though...

Noob here. How can I use this?

A little bit late to the party here. What is the reason why lemmygrad.ml is blocked?

Basically what the title says, after getting so much of it I might end up contributing, but I want to do it safely.

Lurking through communities related to my favorite literary genres while having Z-Lib is like walking into a candy store as a 10-year-old and being told that you can get all that you want free of charge. Of course curating a library is enjoyable lmao

I actually like the download limit that Z-Lib has for regular users. If you use it up, it moght be a good time for you to go actually read what you have downloaded.

Does anybody know what is Reddit's userbase size? It's difficult to put some of the numbers in https://reddark.untone.uk/ in perspective. Using percentages on the Combined User Count would be more descriptive, for instance.

I don't know about this specific app, but for Android APKs Mobilism is my preferred source. Never had a single problem so far.

I just finished Blindsight by Peter Watts + the short story The Colonel, which serves as a tie-in between the first book and Echopraxia. Gonna have to wait a while before picking Echopraxia though, this books are demanding!
