    But my friend, by downloading all this shit from the internet archive I, too, become an archivist!

    Excuse you, you can’t download books from Internet Archive anymore, you can only rent one of their 10 digital copies (thanks publishing companies).

      Blame internet archive for acting like they weren’t violating copyright for some things. They screwed the pooch for us

    I finally cleared out my “e-books” folder on Google Drive which had PDFs from like 10-15 years ago that I’ve never read 🤣

    I don’t because I don’t really have the storage space. But I would if I could afford to, just so that I could have the folder shared on soulseek. Preserve and share, especially the niche, oop, or otherwise hard to find literature.

    So I just keep the stuff I will read, which is still a pretty big chunk of data, despite ebooks being fairly small individually.
