Other than libgen and archive.org, where do you people buttpirate your books from? Normal torrent sites are hit and miss. Looking for non-fiction, Philosophy and such, specifically for Baudrillard's Cool Memories 3.

I'm really glad that he and the other two took the earliest possible opportunity to say Fuck You to their demonic enemies. I hope they stab them another several times over the next few decades. Shame Roberts is a pedo snake now though.

The question should be: where do you get good ebooks? Books without ocr typos or format errors.
I downloaded 3 different Lolita epubs from Zlibrary and the 3 of them had the same errors on the introduction. I had to settle with a pdf version, wich is not optimal for reading on the cellphone ( yep).

Just walk to any used book store and you can get a copy for the change you find on the street on your way there. Lolita is a glut on the market and most used book stores have so many copies they will not buy anymore. Get some perspective.

It was just an example about the quality of the ebooks. But to give you some perspective: i live at least at 100km of a second hand book store and I highly doubt they have Lolita in its original language. I also prefer reading english books on the cellphone or the ereader just for the embedded dictionary.
Another example would be: the Scanner Darkly ebook i read had many ocr errors like "r" becoming "n". Or Infinite Jest having words with hyphens in the middle of the line and a bit of a mess on the notes at the end of the book.

This is why I look for retail versions if they're available. With some books, libgen might have 10 epubs of a book, but only a couple of them are the retail version and the rest are OCR'd versions. You can often recognise the retail version by either the cover or the size (usually retail is larger), though that doesn't always work out. I'll settle for an OCR version only if there's no retail version around and I can't easily get a second-hand copy.

Some retail ebooks have OCR errors of their own, unfortunately. For older books publishers must often start with an OCR version and then skimp on the editing.

you can always report errors on the libgen forums and if there are several versions of a book (some with unfixed ocr mistakes and some where they were fixed) then the bad ones will often be removed.
