I had an email from z-library this morning confirming that they are back up and running and giving me a couple of personal links. They also gave this email address in case of problems: support@z-lib.se

I use the free library service app Libby. Gave it my Canada library card and can read books and magazines with good usability and no adds. Can set character size, etc. holding my iPad in portrait orientation makes reading magazines easy.

I like reading the weekly “The Guardian” from the UK and multiple books. Oh, many of the books are in readable or audio versions

Is there a problem with Z-Library as I can't download books anymore?
Have managed before but now the download link doesn't appear anymore.
Am I doing something wrong maybe?
Have restarted my tablet but to no avail.
Any suggestions or advice welcome

It doesn't work because you have used the url "https://zlibrary-asia.se/https://zlibrary-asia.se/" instead of "https://zlibrary-asia.se/"

Ok managed to get to the site and it's probably because they are doing some improvements that I couldn't download any books, will try again in a few days

I love Z Library. They appear to have every single book I could ever hope to read. Just finished the latest Jack Reacher. Staring on the latest Jason Bourne book. Well, it’s Treadstone, anyways.

Agree with what you say - I do not know what I would do without Z Library, as likewise they have all the books I want,
