when amazon books could be de-drmed and “my” torrent site showed an interest/appreciation for uploaders i often uploaded ebouks i had bought.
well, both is no longer the case but if it were i still would.
i also occassionally buy music, books and even movies i very much like.
also i adhore being dependant on the whims of a company, being it amazon, netflix or spotify. i want a physical or at least selfowned copy of what i paid for and not only the licence to consume.
AFAIK epub is not universally supported and def. not by any kindle.
best dl, run through calibre (convert to mobi/azw) and transfer this via usb to kindle.
best
when you dl from any seller site do you know what you get regarding spy/mal/bloatware? for sure?
i would not dl from usenet or a public tracker though.
i am a thief like we all are, no need for euphemism.
but i’d rather be robin hood than stoertebeker.
where do you think your files come from?
i just think if everybody once in a while would just buy and upload one file there would be a lot of new or unusual stuff.
there are no longer many movies i like that much and if so i usually jtst buy the dvd.
it got way too complicated nowadays. starting with megabig files you not always can easily covert and watch.
then there is stuff i saw on tv which isn’t available for free often not even can be bought. i have never figured out how to crack these coded stuff. so it just is on a storage disc. i hate it but don’t know a way around.
so, you certainly are not alone.
thanks. got a book from AA that was not on my other sources though not very new. will keep that in my bookmarks.
yes, mam has some books in german but mainly older stuff and 99% from ibooks. i used to offer but got tired of their inconsistent rules/category system and being forced to provide bookcovers. there was/is also not much interest and even less appreciation for uploaders in general.
ipt has sometimes french, spanish stuff (dunno if still there ) but i have never seen german.
i never go online with kindle (don’t need wiki ) but once i had to. it immediately downloaded anything from the amazon list (of bought/dl media) including reading samples. da** annoying.
i deleted everything on amazon.
then amazon stopped sending actual files when i bought a book. even when specifically transfer to pc or via usb was selected (can’t remember the phrase). support was useless. i stopped buying books then.
never found out what the problem was/is.
but i certainly don’t put the kindle online and let amazon upgrade the firmware in the background.
well, my experience and use of usenet is kind of limited but the really goud stuff with (mainly) working links can be found on restricted boards. you at least have to register and access is not always open.
then you need an app like sabnzb and a good usenet provider (depending on what you seek).
mirc is or at least was a free irc client but if you get access to a well managed board that has your stuff you will just need sab. and a vpn of course.
if you just surf and search on your own there is a ton of crap, incomplete stuff, wrongly labeled files etc.
could you see normally and without any problems wearing glasses or contact lensesx?
no?
then welcome to the community.
its no scientific marker but for me it works.
hope this gives you some peace of mind.
but you do not need it. uae whatever makes it easier for you.
