Shame to see what happened to Z-Library. I used it a lot, I even donated a few times. The way I used it was to weed out the rubbish. Amazon used to offer x amount of pages to read for free, so now I have to pirate a digital copy to see if it's any good before I buy it. In most cases it isn't. I don't know what happened in the last 10-15 years but the majority of books (both fiction and non-fiction) are complete garbage, especially true for tech books while they still cost a lot. Reviews are of course complete junk so can't rely on those, enter Z-Library. This is just my 2c for those who think that pirating is all about not paying money. That's not true. I will happily pay, but the process of buying books needs to be improved. If you buy a lawnmower and it start and cuts the grass then all is well, if you buy a non-fiction book promising something and it doesn't deliver you can't return in (and if you do with Amazon for example, after a few times they'll essentially tell you to f off). Give us a free view of 10% pages excluding the list of contents and there won't be any need for Z-Library.
