Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books? 2
For buying a specific physical book, I will sometimes search for the book on Amazon through Tor without JavaScript, click on "Other Sellers," find the website for one of the other sellers, and buy it from them directly. I like Powell's, but their search engine requires JavaScript, so I search their site via DuckDuckGo with 'site:powells.com'

Are you serious? That's fun, maybe I will do that when I become a homeless guy.

Ok, Ok, I will confess this time, there is absolutely no need for a third one, Alij.. I.. steal.. them, I enter the book shop and when the dude is distracted I just (randomly) grab a dozen and run like hell. There, I feel better now I have confessed.

nuevodesor...@guerrillamail.org wrote: I ussualy borrow from library's and buy second hand books Chiefly borrowing from libraries & buying used books, much like you do. Judging by the turnover in used books in my town, I'd say there's no shortage of people who want books. Books offer no digital restrictions management, no tracking, excellent portability, and no need for electrical power or electronic devices. I can sit in the sun or near a window and read.

I think it's just temporary downtime; I got "Teaching in a Digital Age" by Tony Bates just fine last night. It looks good, but I haven't started reading it yet. TFS, Alij.

DuckDuckGo- probably not the kind of thing you were asking for, but it does the job adequately. To search for a specific file type, use f: followed by the file extensions (e.g. f:pdf).

I don't think the punishment fits the crime for a lot of things. Nor should some things even be considered crime in the first place.

"On the other hand it's obvious that in remote areas of the world, where books are not available, Internet has permitted many to access information, and download pdf books otherwise impossible to grab & read."

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books?
I read my electronic books on laptop/tablet convertibles. If you can handle a slower processor, my X60T has a cute little page turn button like a bottom-of-the-line swindle that is more elegant than leaving my X200T partly open so I can reach the space bar to turn pages. My other X60T rather abruptly had the cute little page turn button stop working and I haven't gotten around to troubleshooting it yet. It takes a bit of getting used to but after awhile, the difference is analagous to old computer being like a quality hardback or large print edition to the swindle/crook being like a trade paperback, ie., romance novel or science fiction novel you would read once and then take back to the used bookstore to trade for a different easy, relaxing read from the dollar bin. I'd much rather have physical books too, but a bigger hard drive is doable for us and a bigger house isn't. Mangy Dog, you don't have too many books in my eyes, but you may not have enough shelves or enough walls. ;) I don't believe that education is something that should be bought and sold and quickly lose respect for authors whose actions don't match their words, i.e., Pat Farenga going after Arvind Gupta for sharing John Holt's writings makes me less inclined to respect Farenga's own writing rather than less inclined to share links to Gupta's work with low income USAmericans. In case you don't know who any of those people are: I would not buy a book about non-mainstream educational choices for low income children written by an author who actively prevents that information from being accessible to those who would most benefit from it because the author looses so much credibility in my eyes that I would not trust the veracity of the information; does that make sense? My philosophical beliefs affect my financial choices just as the opposing view would affect someone else's choices in the other direction.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books?
sometimes I got no choice but to download the pdf version because the book is not available.
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books?
Gents For Listening music and record, there is a good tool that allows you to stream THE SOUNDWAVES and you could listen and copy the sound waves without repercussions that will be using audacity, then you could format and copy separately into your hard-drive, the way you want. For VIDEO and sound recording to your desktop, I use the plugins for Audacity. Basically you are streaming a Movie or a sound track from youtube and you want to recorded then I use again Audacity.

Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books?
For reading, I mainly use my old Nook SimpleTouch with Android 2.2 installed-- old versions of everything from F-Droid to PageTurner run just fine. If a book I want isn't available on Gutenberg or gratis online, I'll download it from TPB. I try to donate to the author if I like the book. A lot of authors don't have PayPal/Patreon/anything like that, though. :/

http://sci-hub.cc/ is a controversial but very useful project for the academic and scientific communities. With the DOI or url of the paper or book chapter, you can obtain the pdf without paying. .
Re: [Trisquel-users] How do you get your books?
That's about what I do, also garage sales and thrift stores, especially for children's books, and Library Genesis and bookzz dot org. for electronic books. TPB sometimes has books too. Don't forget that authors need to eat too. They don't get any royalties from library books or used books so those aren't any different to them than torrenting. John Taylor Gatto's medical fund is kind of hard to find now, but let me know if you need me to find it for you because he's always looked the other way when people who can't afford his books share them and I'm glad he got my money instead of the puppetmasters of the world's second oldest profession, the publishing industry. /vent I don't have too many paper books, but I do need more bookshelves and a bigger house. ;) Just like Pentiums when XP hit EOL, some useds throw away perfectly good paper books when they buy their swindles and crooks if you're not above dumpster diving. I've had some amazing finds that way. If you've got older kids or are self-educating, you can sometimes find freebies in a box behind the campus bookstore at the end of the semester. When I had an undergrad, the edition of her text that was used in the classroom would be $50-$100 and the next edition down would be $.99-$3.99. I'd grab the next edition down for her high school aged brother and me. If it was a semester course she was taking, the teen and I could usually stretch the next edition down to last a full year with rabbit trails through reference books and the internet.
