If I understood well, AA centralize all the other pirate ebook providers, or is there anything different I can use to find ebooks?

If I didn't find a book on AA it very likely means the book isn't available anywhere?

MAM is quite comprehensive in my experience.

Can you check for me if you can find the book 1984 in Brazilian Portuguese in .epub? My problem is that all the other sites provide only English books, except AA. Just for testing if is it worth it. I need to apply for invitation I just saw here.

[–] signalsayge@infosec.pub 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They do. In epub and audiobook.

[–] JohnDarlen@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago

OK thank you my friend, very thank you 🤝

z lib has books in multiple languages

[–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 1 points 1 month ago

Gazeta do Povo had a translation distributed for free. Maybe they still do?

[–] davel@lemmy.ml 29 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Why are we assuming that everyone would know what “MAM” is or stands for?

[–] Daxter101@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Wait... What is this? I, for example, don't know what Mam stands for

Edit: Ah, the other comment has just stayed lower than yours so I didn't see it

Yes! fmhy is probably the best source for everything piracy (and more) related.

[–] celeste@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago

That list seems pretty comprehensive. Thx

[–] nichkara@slrpnk.net 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Depending on where you live, you can borrow ebooks from regional libraries. In my case, those are veeeeeeery many and also they can mostly be stripped of DRM.

[–] wyldrstallyns@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This! 🥳

Also, depending on your location, getting a library card doesn't require residence in its area. So, if your preferred library app shows a book/album/film, etc. isn't available digitally, check another major city's library catalog and sign up if they have it. Add that new login and boom. Bonus: each additional library membership makes that happen far less often. 🖖🏼

[–] zjti8eit@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I thought Z-lib was still the go to

[–] PoliteDudeInTheMood@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 month ago

Anna's archives Z-lib so everything on there is also on Anna's.

[–] lemonuri@infosec.pub 10 points 1 month ago

There is also zlibrary.

[–] SuspiciousCarrot78@aussie.zone 9 points 1 month ago

There use to be one called PDFDRIVE. I mean, there still is, but there use to be too :)

[–] TheMadCodger@piefed.social 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't know anything, but I often find what I'm looking for on irc…

[–] cyberpunk007@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Where? It's been some time since I used IRC...

[–] docus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

As a starter: read this Or use your favourite search engine and look for “ebooks on irc”

[–] BurgerBaron@quokk.au 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You know something I don't!

I usually find my epubs via Soulseek. I'll be checking out Anna's Archive now, though.

[–] Luminous5481@anarchist.nexus 7 points 1 month ago (2 children)

MAM is probably the best place to find ebooks. they have a very comprehensive library.

[–] CommunistCuddlefish@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

AA has many books that are not on MAM and vice versa

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I've been wanting to apply for an invite there for a while, but my ratio on my existing private tracker is dire since seemingly nobody fucking downloads anything. How harsh are the entry interviews?

[–] Grimm665@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not harsh at all, and the way they do ratios is nice, you get credits for seeding stuff even if those titles aren't being actively leeched.

[–] apotheotic@beehaw.org 3 points 1 month ago

Neat, thanks!
