    Making sure to keep it legal, right?

    Let’s stick with Project Gutenberg - Public domain ebooks and other media, spanning centuries. They’re incredibly important for keeping our literary past alive.

    I might have more later.

        Not on your instance, no. The Canadians don’t care.

      I kinda forgot Project Gutenberg is a thing. I read a bunch of stuff on there in the late 90s/early 2000s, Arabian Nights, Paradise Lost, etc.

      I got a cooking book from the 1800s there, sadly the pricing is a bit off, I don’t think that recipe is 19 pence anymore.

      There’s also LibriVox for audiobooks of public domain books read by volunteers. They vary in quality but some of my favourite audiobooks are from there.

          What @Endymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.org said seems to be correct, they apparently have some problems right now, I can’t reach the website. It worked yesterday, when I posted the link. I’ll try again later to link some I like, I hope they are able to resolve the problems soon.

            Having looked at the forum, they seem to be under attack by a swarm of AI scrapers. If anyone can help them defend against the attack, please do so.
