Ebook tracker.

[Quarterquack]

I'm already a member on BitMe, so keep that in mind before anyone gives me answer. I'm mainly looking for a place that's not for education, but rather is closer to literature. The kind of place I'm looking for would (for example) come up with results for the Merchant of Venice, as well as Pride & Prejudice and Zombies, or whatever that ungodly book is.

Basically, I'm looking for a place where learning is not the focus (since I attend to that already). I've heard names like bibliotik, doscpedia, elbitz, and bitspyder. I still have no idea which one would be closest to my "needs", though, so I was hoping someone would shed some light on the matter.

Funnily, I'm a member of all the above trackers. And in addition I'd like to add MyAnonamouse to your list.

Elbitz and Bitspyder is a definite no. They may have some literature works here and there, but they lean more towards e - learning.

Bibliotik is not as good as I expected. It deals with more biographies and such, but it deals with literature. You can try it if you want.

Docspedia is somewhat good, but still not that much into literature. Though, It has very varied topics and you may find something you like there.

Finally, MyAnonamouse - according to me, the best (atleast the results that came up with, on searching Shakespeare and Pride and Prejudice and ZOmbies)

It has far more content in literature in my opinion, than others. I maybe wrong in this opinion, but I did the searches on what you gave as an example of reading and it returned the best results.

And I've an invite to MyAnonamouse too. So, if you're interested, please pm with email and I can provide you the invite. Or you can try the irc for an invite (that's how I got it and the interviewer was very friendly and easily invited me, no such questions.)

Gigapedia.com? It's a DDL site for books, you have to register to see the actual site.

Thanks for the extremely well informed post. I'll be busy with the couple of strong suggestions you threw in. As for the invite, keep it for someone who has trouble speaking English/fear of interviews. :P

Considering I've never tried that place before, I think now is a good time. I'll look into it.

Isn't it gigapedia.com? :unsure:

Btw, this is a nice site too. :yup:

Ok.. I'll do that.. :happy:

[cinephilia]

bibliotik is pretty focused on litterature. sounds like it might be what you're looking for.

Yep, my bad on the typo.

I've heard of a place called the library .
Seriously can you even read an e-book ? I've downloaded a bunch and it's not exactly a relaxing experience.
Besides if we don't cut them down to make "real' books the trees will take over the world.

Btw can anyone lend me 5 bucks to pay my overdue fines?

[graywolf]

Hmm.. I agree a little. There are many books which can't be found on net.

And you can't compare the feeling of reading a book in your hand in place of reading an e book on your screen.

It's less tedious for me to read an ebook on the bus to University/work than it is to add one more responsibility to the list (knowing the book has to go back at a certain time/calling in for extensions etc.).

I wasn't looking to specifically give you a hard time but since you brought it up isn't going to the trouble of searching for a site , downloading something transferring it to your e-book reader etc just as big a hassle ?
Besides there are like actually real live people at a library ,some of which you ( who knows) might become friends with even ( who knows) fall in love and marry.

Anyway just sort of kidding, if life was meant to be a complex ,unexpected ,constantly stimulating place God would never have invented the remote control.

I can see where you're coming from, but everything is relative. Transferring stuff to my reader feels more "natural" to me. I do it with movies to an external HD, I do it with mp3's to an external player. I do it almost regularly with my reader, as well, but now I'm getting into more works of literature. Moving my ass down to the library involves an extra action that would actually necessitate going out of my way to accomplish.

As for finding friends, I gave up on that quite a while ago. People are idiots. I'd rather be lonely. Not true. It's because I've been hurt before, and I'm having a hard time breaking out of my shell now. I reach out to people in my own way, but no one seems to ever recognize that my demeanor is my method of making friends. Well, well, well.

Maybe you should approach Only4Djs ,he seems like an incredible prick and therefore probably badly in need of one.

This is what I get for opening up to you? I only kid.

Idol, trees can take over the world. :lol:. I think you read too much Tolkien's work. :unsure:

Ditto to graywolf. Myanonamouse is your best bet (Demonoid is fine too, if you still care to use public tracker). But for complete different version of e-book format you can try IRC channel.

[graywolf]

You can also try "ebooksshares.org". It was a fairly decent site, though I don't know if it will fulfill your "needs", but definitely a try. And yea, its a sort of semi private tracker. (No invitation, just simple sign up)

[cinephilia]

if you need something call me, i'll tell you how to live without it :yup:

Given the clear assumption that said person isn't calling you for advice on how to better their life itself, of course?

[fomasudoi]

So, I wonder if there is any tracker (both public and private) better than library.nu (a warez site)?

[kallieb]

Quite the bump of the thread, but just in case this helps others.....

Ditto on the mention of IRC. Do a google search - IRC & ebooks, and you'll find loads of options. The process is amazingly easy, and if you're not sure how to search/dl off IRC - once you get into channel you can always PM one of the channel ops and they'll guide you through it. When I've hit a wall where I can't find a title on Demonoid or Gigapedia, IRC has always come through for me (with rare exceptions). Good luck
