Pretty straightforward: books and literature of all stripes can be discussed here.

Most libraries have a way to virtually rent ebooks and audiobooks. Check on your local library's website.
Also HumbleBundle pretty regularly runs limited time sales for cheap ebooks.
And then of course there's always the less than legal options such as torrents.
Thanks, also I can't do Torrents what about direct downloads?
I'm not sure what beehaw's policy is on posting links and sites that host pirated stuff, but lemmy.ml has a piracy community that might be a helpful.
Someone above mentioned libgen, which is pretty good. Another good source, but one that is too confusing to explain in a comment here, is the bookz channel on irc. There are likely guides if you search for it. I’d only go that route if you really can’t find it elsewhere.
Holy shit, people are still doing IRC dcc?
Yep and it feels pretty dated. Using libgen is much easier. Using your local library is much easier and you get to show your library / local govt that the library is getting used.
