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.
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.
their collections as in their torrents containing more than one isbn.
not their entire library. they are just a special kinda librarian community
Sure, but OP was asking for curated collections, and the above commenter pointed at MAM as an example. And MAM is specifically purging their curated collections, so I thought it was funny that MAM was the go-to response.
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
