E-books and e-book readers
Re: E-books and e-book readers
Yep, TOR browser still works. Its painfully slow like using the internet in the 90s, but you can still search for and download titles from Z-lib on it.

Re: E-books and e-book readers
OK - I'm one for paper and books! BUT during my times travelling for work for weeks/months on end, "Proper Books" weren't an option. I have a shed load of "Ebooks" on file therefore, but they're mostly in pdf format. Not a problem to read, but the annoying thing is I have to restart and find the page/paragraph I was reading everytime I go back to it - are there any (free) readers out there that will save your position in the book/magazine?
And by the way, Anna's Archive is excellent! Thanks lomu

PocketBook is what I use. It's on Google Play. It contains ads but they're not intrusive and don't interrupt reading.pharvey wrote:OK - I'm one for paper and books!

I've used Aldiko for years. Uses E Pub format. No ads. I find it easy to use and import books.

Re: E-books and e-book readers
I use ReadEra. It's free, no ads, reads all formats and easy to use.
Re: E-books and e-book readers
My Z Library is working perfectly - so perhaps others here not having the trouble they mentioned earlier this month.

Re: E-books and e-book readers
There's a few books that I've been looking for and have managed to find and download from https://annas-archive.org/ but they were in .DjVu format (not something I was familiar with) - I did however find a site to convert to pdf. This site converts several formats free online (no need to download software), so may well be useful to others.

Re: E-books and e-book readers
I just logged into Zlibrary using Firefox and was able to download some books. First time I've been able to log in using Firefox for a few months.
Re: E-books and e-book readers
I have been unable to download from Z Iibrary today. I last used it 2/3 months ago and all was fine.Lost wrote: ↑Fri Jan 06, 2023 12:59 amTor browser z-library still works fine for me though a little slow, but that Anna's Archive is a great little find lomu.

Have just downloaded one book from there but have had no success afterwards although I haven't spent much time on the site. At first glance, the library seems extensive and says it incorporates zlibrary as well as other sources.

Anybody else with info please
