ZLibrary domains have been seized by the United States Postal Inspection Service
Fortunately someone had the foresight to make a backup:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32972923" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=32972923</a><p>Z-library were in it for commercial gain (you could access a certain number of books but to get more you had to pay for a subscription). They started out as a fork of library genesis, whose mission has always been strictly non-commercial and about providing free access to everyone without limits.<p>Hopefully this will encourage more people to go back to the original libgen. I suspect Z-library&#x27;s popularity was because of a better interface and larger collection, but I think lots of people didn&#x27;t realize libgen offers all its books&#x2F;papers for free without limits.
