Mine as well, and I'm French. I feel kind of proud though the book is shit.

As an author, what's your opinion on piracy of books?

[–] WidowsFavoriteSon@beehaw.org 7 points 2 years ago

If it means more people are reading my book, I'm good. Maybe they'll buy the next one, or recommend it to their book club, who knows?

Been using this site ever since zlib went down. Even though zlib did come back, this has become my main book piracy site. Amazing resource for books

Does someone know how this compares to oceanpdf?

Stupid question, but I unfortunately don't have any idea so far about pirating. Would it be enough to just use a VPN when downloading, to not get into trouble?

Pretty much. You can do without it in some cases as well.. So sticking with a no-logs VPN should be enough.
