This shit is not okay. It's like the polar opposite of pirating
>>
>>8210628
I'm a pirater, but I understand why translators want a few shekels for their work
>>
I have a 12 GB archive with every book I need, unless it's something new. But I only pirate if it's an old book with a dead author and I'm not very confident the book will be worth it. Or when it's a niche title and I can't find it anywhere else.
>>
BookZZ, Bookfi, LibGen, Gutenburg, etc.

I have an aaaaarg account but it's useless

Not this guy but I bought an ebook of this edition on amazon for about $2. Not sure if it's still the same price. It was so cheap I had to do it.

Usually use bookzz & torrent.

Question, /lit/. What ebook reader do you use to read .mobi files? Windows 8. I use adobe digital editions for epubs, but I need something for .mobis.

Any help would be appreciated.

>>8213473
Are you dumb

oh god i thought she'd never be found again but this might really be her

I can't believe she manages to function after getting her face spread online and face fucked to death.

Soulseek, Mobilism, and less and less libgen. Also my library's overdrive is really good.

Go to one of the red boards and ask them, you deranged fuck.
>>
>>8219586
it's not "might really be her", it actually is her. she only had a hope of not being found cause so much time passed and nobody would care to look her up using her middle name but it's there.

i wonder if people around her know she did porn.

what does bibliotik have that you can't find through other means (irc, libgen, soulseek)?

most stuff on bib eventually makes it onto the other sources, because we like to share and spread the goods around. What sets bib apart is a dedicated userbase that will track down any book you request and get it for you if available. There's people with access to all sorts of content, and there's a pretty good request system set up, so if your request is actually doable, you can expect a result in 24 hrs or less usually.

Plus, new books make it onto bib waaay before anywhere else. Tell me if you find Rafael Chirbes' Over the Edge anywhere, for instance.
>>
>>8215959
It looks like mostly the same users host on both
>>
I think it's kind of dull to assume the internet is your wild wild west and one has the right to access any of its content at any time. Yee-haw! *shoots pistol*
>>
>>8225206
you're right. Copyright laws, on the other hand, are so exciting...
>>
>>8225451
>If it's not exciting, it's bad.

I think you misunderstand the definition of "dull". Which, in your case, would make sense. It's kind of a Catch-22.
>>
>>8225206
i think most people know they are not actually entitled or have a right to the content. it's not right but nobody cares that it's wrong.
>>
>>8225459
>I think you misunderstand the definition of "dull"

please enlighten me

why does it ask for my dropbox login info when I want to install it? Is that how it works?

No. When I installed it it acted like open source technology, and i basically just had to type in the username i wanted to use.
