JSTOR still isn’t free, that’s a bummer, but here are the websites I use to get eBooks! If you’d like to support an author you admire, that’s fine, and if you’d like to go through the library system, that’s fine too. I’m just a vigilante weirdo who hates long wait lists and encouraging a garbage publishing system! Also, we’re all stuck inside so we might as well pirate.
add more if you know of any more!
mobilism, this is where i got most of my ebooks from! you should also download an ebook reader onto your phone and your computer, depending on where you want to read. i recommend moon reader for your phone and calibre
for your computer. you will need to sign up to get access to the
downloads/forums but they don’t send any annoying emails, and the free
trial for premium is pretty great!
Z-Lib: also really great, but they have a download cap of five per day. you can get more if you share a post to facebook or donate a small amount. very rarely disappoints and if i can’t find something on mobilism or vk, i know i can find it here.
Lib-gen, i don’t use it that often but it’s very good. real quick, just to make sure it worked well and had sort of Obscure Offerings, I looked up a book I’ve been hunting down (the novelization of the Batman: Knightfall arc …) and it was there! Amazing!
VK’s BOOKS & MOVIES in English Board and VK’s English Bookland: I wouldn’t recommend these to people who are new with pirating things, but if you know how to work it it’s really good! These two boards let you suggest books/ask someone to find you a book, and can search around through their very large databases. They do tend to repeat the same books in their posts sometimes, which means you’ll have to do a lot of scrolling/filtering out.
The absolute absolute best I’ve ever found is archive.org. It’s an online library that has just about everything. (And it’s also home to the wayback machine)
