    My friend Anna was telling me about some Archive or something she found online. I wasn’t really paying attention as they were serving dinner.

      I’ve started using it due to some recommendation from other people on here (as opposed to z-lib, libgen) and noticed there are quite a few low-quality books that sneak in. We’re talking broken TOC, bad OCR, unclosed spans, etc… It’s obviously great as an archive, it has more than any other site, combined. But I can’t see myself using it for most books anymore. Could be a user issue though.

          I’ve just been using z-lib directly (also accessible theough anna’s I believe). I also use a calibre script to try and fix as many issues aa possible and have consistent formatting (eg. generate the TOC instead of using the one that comes with the book).
