    Correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t #ebooks basically just mirror Libgen?

    Among the major book downloading websites, only libgen.li has ads, and only Anna’s Archive has a countdown.

      #ebooks is composed of datahoarders that have a lot of stuff available. You declare the data source you’re getting the book from (e.g. Oatmeal) and then the name of the book.

      I’m not sure if #ebooks mirrors Libgen. I wouldn’t be surprised if they copy from each other.

      I have allergies against ads, countdowns, etc. The interweb is polluted with that stuff and so are most piracy sites.

      I find irc to be much easier to use than the alternatives. Just a click to start hexchat and then it auto-connects to the right server and auto-joins the right channel. All within seconds. I even get my animes from irc like I did in 2005. 😁
