Hmm, when you say 'authors', I presume you mean Bert's memoirs of a trainspotter or Doris's latest heaving-breast romance...?


Or Sateebs Italian roadtrip with Giovanni.

^^Manchester's answer to Bill Bryson!!

[handdrummer]

There is a site called Substack, where authors are publishing their work and for a small fee...

Alas, a poor assumption on your part.
Do some research before commenting on something that you know nothing about.

You could help by informing us what kind of authors, what kind of books, how many you've read (or published). I'm not being difficult here, but my experience of self-published authors doesn't give me any great expoectations.

I've downloaded 3 books from z-library today using the z-library bot. Bit of a hassle the first time around but after that it's a doddle.

Step 1: Download the Telegram app and set up account if you don't have it already.

Step 2: Go to https://singlelogin.me/ and log in to your z-library account.

Step 3: You'll see the below image. Click on link to the bot.

Step 4: Start the bot (will now move to Telegram app).

Step 5: Tell the Z-library bot what book you want and voila! Your download is ready.

After you've done it once, you'll only need to go into the Telegram app and do step 5. Though I have had to convert the files to mobi after as I haven't been getting any option for mobi file so far.

Don't need to convert to mobi, I just found out. Was unaware kindle had changed to epub.

Just checked out the other option for downloading from z-library which works fine, too.

Open the link below in Tor browser.

If you can't be bothered looking for yourself that's fine. It was just a suggestion and not one you have to take up. I have no idea of the meaning of "what kind of authors," or "what kind of books," and I don't see the relevance of how many I've read. if it's not important to you, don't bother.

Lost,

Is your link through Tor correct?

I get US employment and recipes for onion soup sites when I search.

Thanks.

[buksida]

Thanks for the tips to reaccess ZL, will use Telegram (Tor link not working).

[hhinner]

^^ Link works in TOR browser.

[buksida]

I use Brave browser, which has Tor built in, and it wont open. As said - I'll use Telegram.

[buksida]

Update on this one - the site finally opened in Brave using the Tor extension (it is not instant).

The instructions above work well, you have to enable the bot in your profile and then add it to Telegram. I'll give you a code to initiate the bot which is then linked to your ZL account.

You can search on ZL, then copy the exact name of the book into its Telegram channel and it will find it, then you can download using Telegram. Tried a couple and it works (for now).

[lomuamart]

I must be missing a step.

I've got a book loaded using Telegram but whilst I can see it on my desktop I can't understand how to get it to Kindle. I thought it would appear on my download file but it doesn't.

[lomuamart]

Got it.

Right click. Save as onto downloads and proceed as normal on Calibre.

Many thanks Lost and buks.
