My college textbooks are ridiculously expensive, obviously college is for the rich, we all know that. My question is, does anyone know of a website that has a database of free college books? I’ve tried torrents and also the thread here recommending Zlibrary but that site has now been seized by the U.S. Government. Any other ideas?

Thanks so much!

Thanks, annaslibrary has been good for some books, I’ve considered buying an Amazon gift card to get access to their faster downloads too, sadly I couldn’t find everything.

Bro, if you want free books try [yandex.com](http://yandex.com) it is a search engine. I use this to get free books. Search for the book name use ‘free’ or ‘download’ keyword at the end. Usually books are avaliable from VK or Oceanofpdf. Also z\_library isn’t down yet their gateway is always changing you need to search for the working one. Currently this one is working [https://z-lib.fm/](https://z-lib.fm/)
