I’ve started using it due to some recommendation from other people on here (as opposed to z-lib, libgen) and noticed there are quite a few low-quality books that sneak in. We’re talking broken TOC, bad OCR, unclosed spans, etc… It’s obviously great as an archive, it has more than any other site, combined. But I can’t see myself using it for most books anymore. Could be a user issue though.
My boyfriend has a Kobo, and he has an integration with his library that allows him to borrow ebooks.
I’d have to ask him how it works exactly, but it sounds pretty convenient.
Someone should make a youtube sketch where a woman keeps getting suspicious of her boyfriend cheating on her.
And the bf IS being secretive, and dismissive. The girlfriend isn’t being paranoid, or crazy. The boyfriend IS giving her legit reason to think he’s hiding something. Every Tuesday he won’t return calls. Gets dodgy about asking where he was. So she decides to follow him.
And when she follows him turns out he goes over to a guys house. And then, men and women keep showing up. Gotta be 30 people in this house. So now she’s thinking her boyfriend is doing sex cult shit. Like in eyes wide shut.
So when she finally breaks down the door, and goes in, turns out he’s just in an ereader book club of the month. They all read the same book, at the same pace. And then discuss.
So when she asked him what he was doing those days, he told her that “she wouldn’t understand”, he just meant that she was illiterate and wouldn’t understand reading. And when she asked where he went, and he said “It’s a secret”, that’s just the name of their book club. And when she asked who’s perfume she smells on his jacket, he said “That’s just Julie. I eat her pie, while staring at her rack.” He just meant she brings baked goods for all the book club members, and they look at the book rack for the next book the club will read.
And then when she’s finally relieved, and all the confusion has been sorted, she asks if she can join the book club. So he says “You can…but I don’t know if you’re the type of girl who would want to participate in the late night post book reading orgys.”
Where do people who use kobo readers buy their ebooks? Is there a reliable non Amazon e-reader shop that sells from free books? (Besides humble store)
Kobo has it’s own ebook store, plus it connects with Overdrive (outdated version of Libby) to handle library checkouts.
Kobo is also really easy to sideload books on to, so you can, you know, just get them from wherever…

Oo,hey, hehe…
Oh, the books! You were winking about the- Yep, got it now.
My friend Anna was telling me about some Archive or something she found online. I wasn’t really paying attention as they were serving dinner.
