Seconding Library Genesis. ZLibrary has a nice selection and all, but I'm kind of put off by how you need an account to access it. No such issues with LibGen.
i was going for legal materials first. Not a fan of pirating books unless theyre corporate backed content such as college textbooks
https://www.gutenberg.org/ Project Gutenberg has all legal materials. Consider it.
That's what my first suggestion was ahah. thanks anyway
Project Gutenberg, Archive.org are two that come to my mind
lemmy.ml/c/zlibrary
Thanks everyone for the recommendations
Zlib is the best. The main site has been taken down though so you will need to use the darkweb site.
This reddit thread says the onion link is: http://zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion/
zlibrary is back online they are using personal domains now, although I have no clue how "personal" they are
That's great, thanks for letting know
