Bump

:O
YAY!
But wat do with the previous lot?
If I download this over the top of the other one and click "skip all" when it says "X already exists", will that update it without problems like duplicates and such?

>>666417
No, because this archive is all sorted into subfolders. You're probably best off just deleting the old one entirely, since this one contains all of the old one (minus ones that didn't work) as well as a thousand new ones, re-sorted.

>>666437
I'm both excited and drained by this news.
Ah well, a bit of book-sorting is surely worth it.
Actually, the thing that's most distressing is the possibility of never reading them all ;_;

>>666445
AND I've added some of my own books into the folders on my hard drive, so this might get confusing...
D:
Ah, well. Mustn't grumble.

>>666451
This might be easier than you think: Sort the folder by the date the file was added. Any file added after the date you extracted the archive will go to the top or bottom. Keep those, nuke the rest, profit.

Torrent with unrarred contents plox? This method is quite annoying..

Thanks for your efforts anyway.

>>666459
Hey, good idea. I was just working through them in alphabetical order.

>>666460
Making and seeding a torrent would be kind of annoying for me, for a few different reasons (if nothing else, my computer has a bad PSU and I'd like to avoid leaving it on to seed for too long until I can replace it)

I wouldn't care if someone else did it though.

I'd like to thank you for this. Because of you, I am now going to get an e-reader, probably a kindle.
Thanks so much.

hey op i just want to thank you.

you are a great man!

>>666487
Because of this archive (I didn't compile it myself, I simply renamed and sorted the files) I -did- get an ereader, a PRS-505 off of eBay for $200 or so. Fuckin' love the thing.

Just a little fun fact:
50 petabytes is what it takes to store the entire written works of mankind since recorded history in all languages.

Promise this one won't disappear after a week? Like the last megashare?

>>666523
Yeah, sorry about that. I deleted it after the threads died because of this one, and then my ISP for reasons of being a shitty ISP wouldn't let me upload things properly, so it took a few days more.

>>666520

I sent in a request.

Will there be another update at any point?

>>666530
I don't have any ideas for one and it probably won't be any time soon, but I wouldn't say there won't ever be one.

I guess I'll try to make a torrent of it. Expect a link soon.

Book list like last time?

>>666540
Look at the original post...?
"For a complete list of files in the archive:"

>>666535
Do that and I'll seed it too.

Has this been archived yet?

I just extracted that and put it on my ereader. It works.

>>666728

Could you upload it and >>666650 and post? I have the torrent ready, except these two.

This anon seems to have left.

>>666947

I'm still here, sorry, uploading the torrent now. Phone call ensued.

I like real books.

/thread

>>666967
good for you, just ignore this thread then.

>>666967
is worst post in the history of lit. how does it feel to be so alone?

this thread is glorious. thank you thank you thank you.

>>666967

Agreed.

I'm a bibliophile, books are more than just words for me.

>>667008
make another thread for you bibliophiles - I dunno, say a shelf thread :p

proptip: ebooks vs. old-paper-smell threads pop up every few days.

This is not one of them. If you don't want ebooks, then go discuss some real book you have...somewhere else.

I read e-books in order to determine if I like them enough to purchase them as real books. I'd rather have something like this than go out and buy every one of these to find out I only enjoyed a handful.

what is the format of these books? are they .mobi? the kindle sucks a dick when reading something else

>>667193
Use Calibre to convert.

>>667175
Financial concerns prevent a lot of people from just "what the hell"-buys that turn out to be good reads. Myself, I just like having an ereader and putting anything with an interesting title or premise or cover on it. Then I can read as much as I want of it at whatever pace I want before deciding whether or not to continue.

>>667193
They are in various formats, mostly .pdf, .txt, .doc,. .lit, .html, and .rtf formats.

What the others said: Use Calibre.

This thread should be stickied. For the enjoyment of all /lit/erates.

ITT: technophiles who don't know how to use the library.

>>667372
ITT: old-paper-smell supremacists who don't see any advantage to having it on your hard drive instead

ITT: Me waiting for that torrent.

Oh, don't let this thread fall to anti-ebook trolls. Keep it bumped, like the last one. Until it's stickied.

>>667475
Sorry, but, you could try looking for it on pirate bay or something.

Not the entire archive, just animorphs books.

Bump

Bump

I'm getting a kindle for my birthday, so this is relevant to my interest

Thank you anon, thank you

>>667871
Hope it works out for you.

Bumping for my buddies.

You're my hero man, just wanted to let you know that.

ugh..someone please keep this thread from page 15. My internet connection is getting repaired tomorrow and I am typing this from a psp.

also many thanks, OP!

Rather than forcing people to redownload all of this, why don't you make a consistent folder system and then make update packs, containing only newly added files? It'd cut down on required bandwidth, and nobody would have to worry about losing anything, or malfunctioning files.

>>667952
I might just do that in the future. Now that everything is as extensively sorted as I'd ever planned on.

bumpadump

>>668097
psp guy here again, bumping.

i am aware that there is the ZWG project, but would it be possible to join forces with them as a resource for this board? It would be nice to keep track of pertinent links for /lit/ in one place. I have also been thinking about a community contributed "flashcard" database for vocabulary. I would like to start this, but I think it is a little disorganized having something like that disconnected with links such as ZWG, this thread, and the possible flash card database.

BUMP FOR TORRENT

>>668385
I don't know about that, but having one big resource would be pretty cool.

>>666381
bump to keep away from 15. We seriosly need a single site for this. Fuck I might pay to just have an HTML site that links these.

>>666381
check it out! just posting in this thread kicks it up a notch! BAM!!

>>666381
bedtime, last bump. plz make a webpage with a link for these

Quality > Quantity

>>668728

OP>you

>>668728
The hell are you on about? Plenty of good books in here.

>>668742

>It's now at 3700
Plenty of bad books too, no doubt.

Damn nigga, you hot!
Thanks for this.

>>668728
>>668749
Can anyone confirm whether or not said additional books are bad?

>>668756
There is a list of files, it's the first link in the original post.

Some books are terrible. Others are classic. Most are dependant on taste. Any and all are easily deleted.

maybe this is better selecting individual works versus whole alphabetical blocks?

bump

Battley Royale just links to some asian rape porn or something.
Fuck, that was the only book i was really interested in.

>>668855
OP here. I'll take care of that when I'm on my PC. In the meantime, I suggest looking in the bookchan sources links - one of them will probably have it.

Sorry!

bump

I don't want to read all of these Stephen King books; can somebody name me 4 or 5 absolutely essential ones that I should keep?

Is there any chance you could upload just the ones that weren't in the last batch? I already went through the last one and extracted or deleted most of them, so I'd really rather not have to do that again...

Also, just curious if you fixed the one book in the last batch that didn't work that that I actually wanted to read, pic related.

bump

good thread is good

>>669326
save yourself, that book is shit on a stick. No joke,the final ending is a wtf moment

>>668855
Oh, god. Is she being killed or something? I thought you meant rape porn in the good way... that's just horrible.

Other (pt1) isn't working for me. When I click on "download" is says "download starting" but it never does. All the others have worked.

OP here. In the future I'll keep the added books separate and then upload them in, I dunno, "Booster packs" or something.

>>670043
It's probably a problem with MediaFire. and should go away on its' own.

But: Same file, mirrored. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FYFS2GSF

>>670065
Merci.

No torrent yet?

>>670165
Get JDownloader.

Sticky request and bump~

Also /r/ing a sticky.
This needs to be torrented too.

>>670336
>>670184

Torrent this = getting a million DRM notices.

Thanks OP. I'm not sure if you're the same guy who shared a small list of books a while ago, but shit is appreciated greatly.

>>670402
I shared the previous archive (which was about 2300 iirc) a few weeks ago, but I'm not sure if that's what you mean.

Bump~

Where is that torrent anyway?

BUMP

Is there any Murakami in there?

>>671197
He meant copyright infringement notices, and he's wrong.

YASR (Yet Another Sticky Request)

Dowloading this shit is what capped me last month, is doing it again going to be worth it?

>>671766
There's a hell of a lot more books this time, so I'd say yes. But it's nothing you need immediately, you could download, say, half of it now and half next month. (This one, unless mediafire takes it down itself, won't go down anytime soon)

Bump before I go to bed.

>>666445

Come at it from another angle, don't think of collecting books as keeping the ones you have read but as a library of information that is electricity failure proof and a handy reference for all the owner's life. A book collection should be bigger than its owner.

Google "NN Taleb Umberto Eco library" it is explained better than my random babblings.

Odd, only one book from Jack London?

Anyway, thanks mate.

I can't get JDownloader to download these. It says "Plugin error (out of date)". Help me anyone?

Canticle for Leibowitz corrupted :((((

>>672582
That's a very nice angle to take :) Thank you.

>>672661
Sorry; I'll remove it from mine and look for it later.

Bump~

Sticky it this time, please.

We should host this list on one of those free website things. Then when someone asks for something in e-book form, we can link them to it, and there can be a section of the site where we can link to our own e-books that aren't in the main set. It can be the ultimate book-hosting site. :D

>>674357
Bandwidth and storage space tends to be limited. And they usually suck. But that would be nice, having a huge directory that is actually easy to search with a consistent format?

>>674439
But you wouldn't be hosting the actual books on it- just the links to them, so it would be a very lightweight site. Plus, the ability to post books that aren't in the main list would be absolutely exquisite.

>>674478
Well I can always upload individual files to mediafire too.

>>674491
Indeed, but an index would also be nice. Should I take the initiative and set up this thing?

>>674572

Yes.
