    Just use your local library and get all the books you want for free and in the most legit way possible. No idea why you feel the need to pirate books.

      Problem is the wait lists. Cosmere books in my area are on an approximate 18wk wait. Audiobooks nearly double.

      My library makes people use shitty apps for ebooks and audiobooks instead of using whatever reader/player you want

        That’s not their fault. Libby / overdrive is what the market offers. If a library wants to loan digital books, that’s the answer. This is a competition and marketplace and monopoly problem. Not a library problem.

          I wasn’t assigning blame, I was just giving a reason some don’t want to use the library offerings

    There’s a private tracker called MyAnonamouse, all ebooks and audiobooks. They have open registration sometimes. I let my account lapse or I would shoot you an invite

    Libgen. Not torrents but books are all over.

    Also audiobooksbay, you don’t actually need an account for these torrents if you take the hash from the site
