The second I heard Trump got elected, I gave standard ebooks $10 and grabbed their entire library, and did a "shopping spree" on zlibrary.

how do you...

Grab fiction and nonfiction from their collections page. That covers every book.

History repeats itself. Left, right, left, right. One foot after the other. It'll be here soon. Who knows, you might live to see a bread line four blocks long by age 70.

Perk up!

Might also want to check out https://gutenberg.org, it's got about 70x the books that standard ebooks has, even if its not as well refurbished.

I have a dirty pull of their site from a torrent that I need to clean up. My issue is cross-referencing it with standard to see what I have and don't. I might get Calibre to handle it if it happens to identify them as the same book, I'll just import Gutenberg afterwards and skip the existing.
