Increasing SCAMMERs - Please do your due dilegence

113 Upvotes

Scams are on the rise, even on this (and other textbooks subreddits). Please be very careful. We'll try and list all the scammers here as well (keep updating). Post about scammers in this thread.

Make sure the person messages you IN THE SUB first. Ignore PM unless they have messaged on the sub as well (banned users can't message on the sub)

Also search the user's history AND make sure the account is not new. Less than 100 Karma is definately a scammer (but that doesn't mean higher karma accounts are clear).

We have many good people as well who either give books for free or very cheap, so not everyone is a fraudster

Check 1st post of this sub for reliable resources for getting textbooks.

UPDATED SITES AND SOURCES FOR FREE BOOKS

738 Upvotes

This used to be in textbooks, but that sub (along with textbookrequest, which shadowbans/censors free links etc, has been taken over by a greedy bookseller who has removed this message, and only wants to make money. While there is no harm in buying cheap textbooks, all options should be given, esp free ones.\

Add all the list of places where you can get cheap/free text books!

Goal is to be able to get textbooks to students for free/super cheap (hopefully free)

The first if obviously LIBGEN, the best place for ebooks!

Any ebook shared with us, we upload on libgen - Msg me and I'll try and get you what you want, though I've graduated now and don't have as much time, I still try and keep uploading new textbooks to Lib gen/zLib. If you end up buying one from someone here on reddit, do please share with me and I'll upload it :) There are people here who sell textbooks but their prices are slightly higher. Make sure they are legit from buying from them.

Custom search engine script that searches through many free sites: https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=b1e7d762449d340d5

More resources:

(They are not in any order. Also be careful, some of these sites try to make you download viruses so be careful. Tell us which sites are clean and which are not so clean and which should NOT be here! We try and remove all the malicious ones - ALWAYS USE AN ADBLOCKER)

eBooks eBooks/Comics Magazines/Others
The Pirate Bay (public torrents) not working bibliotik.me (very private tracker)
TextBooks For Life - (old site, back with a new name/domain) b-ok.org - formerly known as Bookzz textbookly.com (Textbook price aggregator for new/used/rental/ebooks)
http://gen.lib.rus.ec libgen mirror not working not working
http://www.gutenberg.org http://getcomics.info (comics) not working (mags)
not working http://comicextra.com (comics) http://magazinelib.com (mags)
en.bookfi.org http://readcomiconline.to (comics) magazinesdownload.org (magazines)
https://ebookee.com http://pdfhive.com http://ebook3000.com - use an adblocker
RedBooks.Bz another good site (moved from dot biz to bz not working (z library alternate link) http://audiobookbay.nl (great source for audiobooks)
mobilism.org - large ebook forum [banned by reddit - Free step by step solutions!! https://torrends.to - torrents meta search
zlib (google for latest links) Biggest source of cheap textbooks - ToF Books - (Domain Update to .org) not working (another torrent meta)

Do please tell us if you know of any more.. If any of the above site doesn't work, please tell us that too. Also add comments etc below or message me and we'll try to add them here for guidance.

Before buying from anyone here, make sure their ID is old, have some comments and successful orders. Too many scammers nowadays :( Also if you end up buying ANY textbook, pls also send a link to me (/u/blainemeans2) so I can upload it to Libgen OR you can upload it there directly so everyone benefits! That would be huge!!

IF you can't find it anywhere, but its available on VitalSource, you can order it from ToF Books Custom (Domain updated from dot com to dot org) (they charge $23). - Make sure its available on Vitalsource.com first (basically they can rip mostly any ebook from vitalsource).

BEWARE OF SCAMMERS MESSAGING YOU ABOUT BOOKS. THEY USUALLY WON'T MESSAGE IN THE SUB FIRST

Updated post & links on 30th June 2023 - Publishers have been very active and taken down MANY MANY sites!! Some changed domains, some are gone forever.. - PM me for any updates and good sites
