Back in the day I recall finding lots of well curated and conveniently packaged ebook collections. Things like Goodreads choice 20XX, top 100 sci-fi of all time, etc. These days I know plenty of places generously providing individual books, but not where to find these nice collections. The ability to browse popular releases would also be nice. Ideally I would avoid needing to setup specialized tools, like readarr. But if something like its list feature simply blows away any other options I’d consider it; whatever gets the best results in the least time.
Personally, I use IRC. There are guides up from around 8 years ago that still apply today. Ill link them once Im free in a few hours.
Do they offer any advantages over anna’s archive?
This is awesome and I had no idea it existed. But I’m not seeing how this offers better collections/discovery?
Your right. They do not offer collections. Sorry I didn’t read properly 😔
Though given that its still being updated, Ive yet to not find a book I needed from there. As a public place to find books, it perfect
That would be appreciated, thanks
Sorry for being late. The day would not end :(

I’m on Bazzite, and personally use the IRC chat that comes as art of the KDE Plasma suit (dont remember the name, but you can get it in the Bazaar)
I’ve found the best place lately are private bittorrent trackers. There’s one ran by a so called anonymous rodent that works pretty well and has hundreds of collections.
Isn’t MAM specifically purging their collections soon? I just thought it was funny that you used MAM as the example, because they’re planning on removing their collections.
Not currently active there, but why?
What’s your source on this? I hadn’t heard about this.
MAM has had multiple announcements about it posted on their home page.
Really? Hadn’t read about it. Well I guess that’ll be a no go for collections when they do it
