non-english ebooks (fiction)? (feddit.de)

i am always on the lookout for non english NEWer ebooks.

after the raids and shut downs some years ago the sources are spare especially for german ones.

i know you can find old stuff on gutenberg, libgenesis (can't remember the full name) & co and surprisingly ibooks is still there but thats it.

of course some usenet boards but few and all the same stuff. their content usually finds its way to some torrent sites but few and late.

so, any recommendations?

I find most of my reading material on the Usenet. Places like forum.nox.to, ebook-land.cc or even ibooks.to are the backup sites I turn to when I can't locate something. Yeah, downloading from OCH may not be very convenient, but for small ebook files it's acceptable. If there's a torrent tracker like MyAnonamouse for German language ebooks I don't know of it, whereas the online libraries that have been mentioned (Anna's Place, Zlib)j only offer a small fragment.

yes, mam has some books in german but mainly older stuff and 99% from ibooks. i used to offer but got tired of their inconsistent rules/category system and being forced to provide bookcovers. there was/is also not much interest and even less appreciation for uploaders in general.

ipt has sometimes french, spanish stuff (dunno if still there ) but i have never seen german.
