i don't like reading on a screen
I have nothing, my pokémon cards, videogames, albums, everything thrown away or destroyed by my little brother, now that I don't have to deal with them anymore, I will have books, let me have something

he's done you a favour there
What happens when most of your illegal sites get seized by the feds and ultimately shutdown?
Wait. You dont understand how files work? I have heard about zoomers being this technologically incompetent but I didnt really believe it. Interesting.
Are you so genuinely fricking stupid that you can’t comprehend that simple question?
Where do you go to pirate these books, you dense ‘tards? Is it possible to “pirate” books when those websites get seized? I hate the morons who browse this board.
>Is it possible to “pirate” books when those websites get seized?
I go to a search engine and google "pirate website alt" like the computer genius i am.
why do you expect us to hold your hand instead of doing something for yourself for once?
>he thinks a couple publicly available ddl sites are the only book storage that exists
>doesnt know about the autists seeding tbs of libgen
>or irc/telegram groups
>or private trackers
>or usenet
>or the scene
>website gets seized
>I still have all my pirated books
>host migrates to another website

Probably bought 10 books my entire life and even those were second hand. I have a book list for people who want to buy me books instead of other random tat i usually get at Christmas or birthdays.
I hate zoomers so much.
You can already get books for free, at the library. Libraries have ebooks and they're formatted better than the shit at libgen.
I usually flip through the thing a lot which is really hard to do in pdf form
also I like the way they smell
>also I like the way they smell
i used to think this, until i bought moldy paperback. i keep it far from my face
I spent a couple of years reading from a Kindle, but I went back to physical books. I like my home library, I have enough money to buy books, it's all good.
It's really not the same on a kindle. I've downloaded 1000's of books in big single torrent collections. I have basically everything I could ever want to read on my Kindle. But I can't read this way. I like the feeling of of a real book, it's weight, seeing the progress you make through it, finishing it and putting on a shelf like a trophy. You don't get that with a kindle. I'm a minimalist and thought that having no physical books and just keeping everything on one tiny device was very clever, but I find I read less and don't enjoy the Kindle experience overall so have gone back to real books. I have two very good second hand book shops near me where I can pick up good quality used books for $5-10 and frankly Amazon have books pretty much always for less than $10-15 if you catch sales.
>I've downloaded 1000's of books in big single torrent collections.
Where do you go about finding these? I want to save an entire archive of random shit.
/t/
I am afraid that people will sneak in illegal material and I´d be too lazy to check
Die scumbag.
I just like finding PDFs on archive.org like https://archive.org/details/encyclopaediabritannicagreatbooksofthewesternworld
no because i'm not a Black person
haven't bought a book since 2013 when I got my first ereader.
>paying for books
How do you do fellow criminals?
Pirates really are IQfys vegans
I don't even consider it piracy since reading books without paying for them is already legal and socially acceptable. how are you gonna tell me that libraries are such great institutions, then turn around and scold me for downloading a book that doesn't happen to be in my library system? make up your mind. making books freely available to the public is either a virtue or a crime, it can't be both. if it isn't unambiguously good then libraries are just state sanctioned piracy. they take away from the authors bottom dollar just like book piracy. hell, they probably deprive writers of more money than pirates do.
I pirate nonfiction books written before 1900. To me they are public domain freedom of information territory. Plus most of them are easy to find pdf's of.
I pirate books and read them on my phone. If I liked a book and can find it relatively cheap in a good condition, I buy it to keep as a trophy.
I can barely find any of the books I want to read in ebook form, and they definately aren't at the local library either.
Let's see. I pirate
>popular science/history
>IQfy flavour of the month
>slop that the Black Library refuses to reprint like the morons that they are
Rest I often go out of my way to obtain a physical copy for reference.
If I can get it without a cost, I will. If I want it in a physical form I'll buy it. I'm going to buy a book scanner one day and digitize books that aren't in a digital format yet, but should have them for the ease of sharing.
