https://annas-archive.org is a continuation of Z-Lib and combines with Sci-Hub as well. Just do the slow downloads, obviously. Never pay.

I have been able to find almost every book I have searched for here.

Tip: if the countdown time to download is longer than you're willing to wait (60 seconds for me), set a timer to go off. Sometimes it gets up to 8-10 minutes.

https://www.pdfdrive.com/

They claim to have 75 million ebooks.
When you download, you can download them as PDF, EPUB, or MOBI.

There doesn't seem to be any type of censorship. I've downloaded a lot of White Supremacist stuff from there.

Hi.
All the books you can dream of are available from irc, irchighway, ebooks channel.

Run by automatic bots you search and download these books.

Im talking a vast collection, pain free to access.

Below is the guide i used to get me started.
The irc app i recommend installing is hexchat.

There are entire libraries of books you can download in one go on Piratebay/torrent.

Funny thing was, some comedian copy/pasted every instance of the word "hand" with "anus" in Ender's Game.
It was very confusing until I figured the joke out.

If you need to convert e-books to PDF or Kindle, or vice versa, https://calibre-ebook.com/

I read paper still. Like a person.

Trust the science, not the paper.
