Promotion of piracy web-sites on the front of HN, nice. While we're at it, gen.lib.rus.ec is a good one, too (less fancy but without the 5 books/day limitation).

#12This looks pretty sketchy. The FAQ, blog and DMCA links from the posted page all 404. Seems odd for a site that supposedly has been providing ebooks since 2009 I'm not even going to try clicking the book, article or sign in links
Been using it for over 5 years, it's legit.

Re: Z Library
#14Isn't this just a commercialized version of Library Genesis?
There’s fiction books on Z Library that you can’t find on Library Genesis, especially in French for what I know.

The .org variant is basically typosquatting the name.

#17For those who may not know, this is a front-end to LibGen. I like the search feature more and use it now and then, but for me the 5-downloads-per-24h limitation is usually quite limiting.

Correct. Library genesis itself (see https://libgen.rs/ or https://libgen.fun/) is run by volunteers on a strictly non-commercial basis and does not charge for access or accounts.

You know that libgen has a separate category for fiction, right?
Even outside of this genre, I found some titles I couldn't on libgen at times, which made me very confused about the system is structured.
