E-books and e-book readers

[buksida]

I got 15 off it yesterday with the VPN. The Cixin Liu trilogy I was after, some Kim Stanley Robinson, and a few from dm's sci-fi list.

Re: Kindle. I had a Kindle app on my computer and when I tried to download a book, I was told that Kindle downloads are not available in Thailand. Does this mean only via the internet on my computer and only available on a Kindle device?

I don't use any apps - just go here and download whatever books you want in EPUB format. https://b-ok.cc/

Then use Calibre to transfer them to the Kindle - all free, all easy.

The kindle app was on an older computer, my current computer doesn't have Kindle. Thank you though.

If you read what I wrote you'll notice you don't need any Kindle app (or Amazon dictating what you can and can't download) to get books for it.

Some kindle books are limited geographically due to copyright and/or licensing restrictions. Computer, tablet, phone, kindle device should all be the same. If not maybe raise a case with amazon, or use a VPN. Other than geolocation it may also depend on where you're registered as living, as opposed to actual location you're doing the download.

Ok, i used the address ( or whatever it's called) that you gave me and it worked. I downloaded a couple of books to my computer.

That's a real treasure trove. I was amazed by what was available.

Thank you.

If you register you get ten free books per day. If you have a VPN and change your IP address you can get another ten ...

Yeah, I started using it too, when Buksida first mentioned it. I can’t believe how much is available. I don’t even use Kindle anymore. The downloaded books go right to my Books app on my iPad. It’s a great website.

I think 10 books a day will be enough for most people, in fact 10 books a month would probably satisfy the majority, unless you’re an ardent bookworm!!

Yup, many thanks Buksi! I'd not seen this before. Really is a little a treasure trove! Currently downloading me a load of Stephen King that I've not read yet.

Blimey, talk about speed reading!!

As a small warning I downloaded this when Buksi first mentioned the site. I also wanted to download to Kindle and made a small donantion of $10. I was advised that this donation woud be OK for the next few weeks - about 3/4. i wanted unlimited downloads so now I just do the 5 daily maximum and that is more than enough.
re Stephen King, Pirate Bay have all his books also

I only actually read for about 45 mins a day before I go to bed. With anything on the internet that is free and too good to be true - I make the most of it and download as much as I can before they start asking for money!

Oh, I'm with you. I don't have enough books on calibre and the kindle to last me a lifetime, but certainly plenty for the next few years. I read threads like this and look at authors and books that catch my eye and then have a little downloading spree. I used to have a house full of books years ago, and part of me still misses that.

I don't see how z-library manages to get away with providing all these books legally, so I'm going to transfer it to my opera browser, which I use exclusively with the VPN function switched on.
