eBooks.

I don't read ebooks. This renders the remainder of your questions nugatory. Just plain nugatory!

Nougaty.

They're annoying. I don't want to read books on my computer screen and I don't want to print 100s of pages!

My, how the world has changed.

This thread would be a billion posts today.

THE FUTURE IS NOW

Started reading Nineteen Eighty-four (again) on Thursday night. Got on a packed tram yesterday, could barely move, pulled out my phone (Kindle app) and read three chapters. THAT is how ebooks help me read more books.

we should use this thread more

Hi! I'm just a plain old, everyday Midwestern girl that lives a normal life. However, while my outward tastes are relatively simple, my inner thoughts are filled with lusty thoughts of big, strong, powerful monsters having their way with beautiful maidens.

Almost all of my stories fall under the Monster Sex genre, and come from the inner desires that spring from my mind.

Thank you for looking at my author page and thank you for your support. I hope you enjoy these tales of beautiful maidens exploring their lust for these powerful creatures as much as I had writing them.

she's pricing everything at 2.99, which means she makes 2 dollars profit off of each unit sold, and most of these stories are only like 15 pages long. i tip my hat to her.

her author photo would be more realistic if they photoshopped a typewriter in

do amazon take 99 cents from a $2.99 self-published ebook? though it was more like 30 or 60 cents (though maybe it's different for uk £)

Books priced at 2.99 or higher earn a 70% royalty, which I believe is also true of the UK store. So she's getting something like 2.09 per unit. Amazon also charges you a small fee for the bandwidth it takes to send out the book, but for 20 pages of dinosaur sex it's probably only a penny per unit.

I mentioned in the other Kindle thread that I've helped my mom publish two of her romance novellas via Kindle: we sold her first one for 99 cents, but you only get a 35% royalty on books that are under 2.99, so she made hardly anything. Then she wrote a sequel priced at 2.99, and that's where actual legitimate money is made (though still not much; her second book has been out for two months and she's only made about 80 dollars between the US and UK stores).

fuckin elsevier

I really hope they come back again, fuck these Elsevier motherfuckers forever.

dot info is still on the go, download every book available while u still can

ditto book zz.0rg

hard to takedown a site that has a dozen mirrors, works just fine for me still

Yes and the gen dot lib dot rus dot en page

Org has been down for at least a week, I've been hoovering accordingly from the others

yeah the one Jon posted is what I've always used

I can't get any of the mirror sites to work thus far but probably need to try harder.

Actually the one I mentioned ends in ec not en

that address is blocked when you are a virgin customer, but something else will turn up.

i wouldnt worry about this though, once something is freely available on the internet there's no going back, they can try to push it further into obscurity but it'll always be out there

over the past month or so, the borrowing period for many titles on openlibrary.org (such as this one) has been reduced from 14 days to 1 hour, with no option to download them as PDFs or EPUBs. I can't find any explanation for the change, though the timing makes me think it's a preemptive measure to avoid future lawsuits now that four publishers have sued the Internet Archive for copyright infringement. it's kind of a bummer because Open Library has been such a great resource for obscure/out-of-print books that would be difficult to track down elsewhere. hoping it's just a temporary measure

You can use something like Downthemall to grab all the page images as jpgs, if you do the one -hour borrow, and then turn them back into a pdf.

thanks for the tip, it's a bit cumbersome but it does work

I wonder if those publishers would have a stronger case if they were aware that a sizeable chunk of libgen/bookzz/b-ok's offerings are sourced from Open Library. I'm not gonna be the one to tip them off, though

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
