Yoooo...if you like Ebooks it looks like The Eye recently ripped all of Caliber & Bibliotik back in February.
Calibre is a book management program, that can organise and convert ebooks and load them to various reading devices. When you use it it puts all the ebooks in its own folders (highly irritating to some). Looks like rips of several people's collections; not consolidated. There are 38 folders, each just labelled with a dotted quad, that might be their IP, seems a bit unwise to expose the contributors if that's so. Each folder holds hundreds or thousands of titles. All formats, pdf, mobi, epub. One folder for instance had 7000 books, mostly erotic romance. Other folders had different focuses, probably reflecting a personal collection. Bibliotik is a private book torrent site. That rip is divided alphabetically by title, so at least you have a chance to find specific books. A few hundred thousand here too. So a huge pile of books, of the order half million I guess, but expect to spend some time to find anything specific. Probably most will be uploaded to Library Genesis eventually, if they haven't already. |

To make a search quicker for Bibliotik (or any of the links, really), use your browsers "Find in Page" function, easy if you know the author's name you're looking for, though it may be a pain if the author's name is reversed. Searching by the name of the book, though, is a pain in the ass. I've already found several that I have been trying to find on Bibliotik, though not all in a format I like, but that's what Calibre is for :-) You get what you pay for, beggars can't be choosers... The site does what it says on the tin. |

? Actually, it's inconsistent. Most books are listed "Title-Author", some "Author-Title". So you start by search the title corresponding to the first letter of the title. There are 38 pages. 0-9, A-Z, and a couple others. There are 51,000 titles in "T", for all the titles beginning "The". But some titles are listed with year of publication first. So there are 21,000 under "2". So I wanted to find all books by specific authors, that drove me nuts. I tried a Google site search, but it doesn't find any of the titles in these files, though it does find ones in other parts of the site. Maybe they will crawl it eventually. So I spent 30 minutes and copied all the URLs from all the pages into text files, that totalled 31 MB. (You could just copy the index.html files, faster but several times larger.) Now I can use a text editor (Ultraedit) to search for strings in all files in the folder. So I could pull all the links for books by specific authors, or with specific words in the title, then paste them into JDownloader. I might do the Calibre section next. That's a complete lucky dip, no hint what each numbered folder contains. Maybe TheEye has its own search, but I can't see it linked anywhere. |

That's quite unrelated to this. The post you linked is about using Calibre to organise audiobooks, by the rather obsessive guy who wanted everyone to use his zipped audiobook format. This is about an archive of millions of ebooks, some of them drawn from individuals using Calibre. But most ripped from a torrent site. |

The site is up, but has very little activity. Last torrent was a month ago. |

I personally found Z-Library to be a great source for books. They do have an IP limit of 5 per day, but can be raised if you create even a free account with them.
Currently has: 10,400,919 Books, 84,837,646 Artiicles

Mostly they duplicate Library Genesis, but the fiction especially is better organised. Search can be focused and include the description. LibGen is a bit of a lucky dip. Everything there but hard to find sometimes. |

They have a bunch of mirrors, and anyway VPNs go around blocks. |

https://1lib.skZ library, you need to sign up. Some ISPs (UK) block it, but if you use Opera, and turn on their free VPN, it will work. once working, you can then download their desktop windows app which works without a VPN.

No, you don't need to sign up with Z-Library to download. You can get up to 10 books a day anonymously. You get more and bookmarks and a few other features if you make a free account. Maybe if you are using a VPN the anon downloads are used up as they ration them by IP. And you might need a membership to use the app, never used that. Anyway, an account gives a better experience. Also, Anna's Archive https://annas-archive.gl/ indexes Z-Library and Library Genesis books and gives you direct downloads from their pages. That's what I use mostly these days. Very new books, you should also check the original sites, there is a lag in indexing. |
