• Updates?

  I know. I used to collect the LN, however since bookdepository.com closed, I can no longer buy them. Amazon shop is not accessible in my region, so I probably can only get them in a local Kinokuniya store which is usually priced much hire that buying the online. Or maybe I can only depend on the audiobook from somewhere like youtube. Source: 10 months ago

• looking for a substitute to bookdepository

  Bookdepository.com/ is shutting down business and I need a good substitute asap :))) I live in germany and it's really hard to get good international books that here that aren't considered mainstream enough to be in regular bookstores. So any good british website with free EU-shipping would be perfect. Any ideas? Source: 12 months ago

• How strong is bell in the novel currently?

  Damn, I really want to continue reading the novel but sadly bookdepository.com is closing this month. I don't know where I can get the novel unless I pay a visit to Kinokuniya and buy their overpriced light novel. Source: about 1 year ago

• bookdepository.com is closing :(

  So here's something very few of you may be aware of: Your local bookstore probably has the ability to order whatever title you could get on bookdepository.com/amazon or BOL or whatever other megacorp decided they could kill off the high street. (Of course they'll buy them from other megacorps, but at least they won't be dead set on killing your local shops). Source: about 1 year ago

• MLIS books available digitally?

  Check out https://openlibrary.org. You can search ´library science’, librarian’, etc, and something should come up. Just select the ‘ebooks’ option to search for items within the collection. And you can narrow the search by subject, etc. Source: 5 months ago

• NaNoWriMo: National Novel Writing Month

  Right now I'm in the middle of the chicken and the egg problem where we don't have enough authors cataloging their publications and b/c of that obviously readers are not interested in using the site. I've gone back and forth with taking Open Libray's [0] catalog as that would at least flesh out our collection of books but then I'd have to deal with verifying authors to accounts so they can access their books.... - Source: Hacker News / 5 months ago

• YSK: You can access many old and out of print hiking books from the Internet Archive's Open Library

  The Internet Archive runs what they call the Open Library, which is a unique concept on the traditional library. You can sign-up with minimal details and digitally check out many scanned books from libraries all over the world. The only caveat is that almost all of the books are older editions - ones that would be impossible to find locally. It's great if you're looking for old routes, a look back in time, details...

• Searching for a pharmacy book

  I want to clarify that I'm a non-US citizen, so accessing physical copies from US libraries or buying it from Amazon might not be feasible for me. To give you some context, my personal research was guided by the wiki section of r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH (https://www.reddit.com/r/FREEMEDIAHECKYEAH/wiki/reading/). I've conducted research using various online resources, including the Ebook & Open Source/Access Libraries... Source: 7 months ago
