There is no denying there are plenty of other methods that work better for others. However if you want:

  • Cheap
  • Quick & Easy Setup
  • Run on any device (Exception for iOS but you can get around this with Stremio Web + VLC)
  • Whole Movie + TV Shows catalog to browse. Seeing trending items is handy.

Only issue I have had is niche Movies or TV Shows just do not have a Real-Debrid entry to stream so I'll have to manually search, but this is rare.

I really only want books, but all I have is an iOS device…if you had an easy for that I’d be interested

I don’t think piracy is the best solution for books, instead download an e library app like Libby. Then connect one or multiple library cards (some major libraries allow you to get an e-card even if you don’t live in the city). Now you have easy access to a huge catalog of books and ebooks that sync across devices

Do you have a library you recommend for an e-card?

[–] MtDewaholic@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Start with your local library and any other libraries in your area, because they should be free to sign up for.

Then there are some that have an annual fee for out of state residents, this article covers many of them. I’ve heard that you can get around this fee at some libraries by picking a random in state address, though I’ve never tried it myself.

Additionally, the Seattle public library allows a free card for anyone in the US under the age of 26, and Brooklyn public library does the same for anyone under 21.
