I downloaded a certain epub from Anna’s archive but as i have never read it before and i don’t know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don’t think I’m allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i’ll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv episode i can check the length and can tell if it was cut . Do i have to download multiple copies ? even then how would i compare ? Anna’s archive is showing me so many results on the same book . If anyone wanna help me out by sending me the links to a copy they are sure is full/real thing as they have read it before do feel free to dm or reach out on this thread if that’s not against the rule .
Just to let everyone know which book i’m talkin about i’ll drop a hint - It has a show in which a pretty beloved celebrity starred who is also a huge fan of the series and quit due to showrunners incompetence . It also has a pretty succesful game series and the book i’m trying to read is the first one of the series which consists of many shorts stories if i’m not mistaken . If this is also against the rules do let me know and i’ll remove it .
Edit : typos and maybe wrong sub or c or whatever and maybe might have broken a few rules even tho i have tried hard to not breake any .
Soo how/where do i get a good known copy and how can i comparedo i have to read both of em ? I don’t think page number checking of epub is accurate .
Library?
Not currently accesible . Why would i pirate if i have acess to a library ?
Format options.
I’ve pirated ebooks of books I own physically. The exact same series you described.
Then can you send me the links ?
You could see if Broward County still let’s everyone get a card and try with the Libby app.
The links broken for me
Interesting. Maybe it’s geolocked? Even though I’m not in the US. Do you have a VPN?
not worth it, you have to wait for ages to get the book you want. (although at that point, you may as well dedrm the book and keep it. no need to pirate)
Do you have a library to possibly check it against?
got an isbn for it? Should be on the copyright page.
Edit: 10 or 13 digit number that (should) be unique to that publication. Paste it into your search engine of choice and you be able to find either a commercial or catalog entry for it which would give you some cataloging info for it such as file size or pagination to compare. Also I think that series is pretty popular and would be available as an ebook from you local library (if you are US) getting the card is really easy. Would recommend libraries 10/10. Libby charges libraries too much to use, but it’s totally free for the patron and super convenient to use.
