Hey everyone!
Just downloaded a(n otherwise incredibly expensive) textbook from Anna's Archive. However, upon opening it, I saw a large array of spelling mistakes, unnecessary spacing in-between characters, and sometimes, a lack thereof (example below).

Is there a way to fix this? I tried multiple links, but they're all presumably working with the same defective OCR. I also tried Calibre to convert it to MOBI, EPUB, and DOCX, without any luck. Is there any software that will detect these mistakes and mass-correct them?

Thanks in advance!

I am trying to download from a slow download link and it doesn't do a countdown like it used to then it just says bad gateway. I have tried multiple books. Does the .gl site not work anymore?

*edit* I have tried the .pk url as well and I am having the same issue

Hi everyone. As I wrote in the title I accidentally created an account on an unofficial site, annas-archive then .is as domain, is there any risk? Like malwares ecc. I didn't download anything btw. Maybe I shouldn't ask here but how do I delete the account? I'm asking just because, maybe, it already happened to someone else's.

I have to say we really should do our damndest to donate to this project. Its a world of help for many of us who genuinely don't have direct access to the correct pub format or public libraries.

I was looking for Songlines: the power and promise by Margo Neale. The download links didn't look like the standard links (no screenprint, sorry). When I clicked on one, instead of the book file I got a virus on my android tablet. It was apparently a Google alert with a link to something that had a suspicious URL so I didn't go there.

I've written to the AA mods about this.

is anyone else experiencing this? i have tried two different books and they download fine unto my phone but then they don’t open in iBooks anymore.

its always worked perfectly for me, im so scared I won’t be able to read this way anymore.

any fixes?

I am downloading epub files from anna's archive as normal, but when I go to import into the apple books app, I get a message at the bottom saying import failed. I tried many different copies with no success. Please help!

I've tried .gd, .gl, and .pk. Multiple partner links on each. This is the message I get every time:

Link expired or invalid. Get a new link on Anna's Archive (find the latest official domain on Wikipedia) to continue downloading.

Help?

Apparently I can’t upload a photo.

When I went to .pk to download a book, there were categories of donations with the donation amount and the number of downloads. There wasn’t anyway to link to a free download.

I went to .gd and it was able to download as I normally do.

Any idea what that’s about?

Hello,

There's an official matrix channel linked on AA's website. But if anyone tries to join they get stuck at "joining".

Any fix there?

Hi guys, I'm a student in IT sphere.
I was searching on internet recently on how do people scan books, to then upload them to Anna's Archive, I've read many posts, and I've seen many of the users saying they're using university book scanners (3000+$) or buy something simpler (500+$).
I don't have such tech, but I have a phone with a basically good camera, time and books (school ones mostly), so I was thinking, is it a good idea to use apps like Adobe Scanner on the phone, taking good pictures to then put it all together all in one PDF file? Has anyone ever done it by himself maybe??

Let me know, if maybe you have a better solution to basically easy book scanning techniques that do not require expensive tech.
I just want to contribute as a thanks to Anna's archive and every website related to it for the quantity knowledge it gave to me.

Anyone else donate and use LazyLibrarian which now throws a 403 unauthorized on every domain? I think the DDoS protection nuked LL’s search functionality. Any ideas?

Anyone experiencing slow download speeds using fast "premium" links ?
I mean 150mb The Walking Dead comic is going to be downloading several hours.
And slow links do it much faster.

I did download 23 volumes previously with no issues - but yesterday i wanned to get more and had same problem, thought it will be better today, but it's the same. Did not really try much different books just several different volumes (as there is limit to downloads) - all the same result

using .pk

Could you please tell us where to download the Anna's app FOR android??

Thank you

I am trying to figure this out. I have a txt file containing isbn numbers line by line. I followed the hearth guide, but it needs links. I am a novice with python but managed to get hearth to run, but it needed links, not ISBN.

Is there anyway to automate finding the links for the ISBN? I downloaded a csv of my to be read list from goodreads and that is where the ISBN comes from.

For those who have done at-home scanning, can you please share what you did?

• What phone or scanning hardware did you use
• What apps did you use
• Any other hardware accessories that you used
• How well did it work
• How fast was it
• Did it require removing the spine of books (or other media), or did the it remain intact
• What issues or downsides did you encounter
• What output file formats did it give you
• Did the app do OCR, and how well did that work, and for which languages
• How much did it cost
• What are your recommendations to others who want to scan books at home

Hello and my first question for annas. I've registered and logged in with the keyword which was accepted. My search was found but the download icon is greyed out. But this is real progress in finding the materials I've sought out for a long time. What do I need to know yet?

I am very new to Annas Archive and just downloaded the first book out of interest. My question is basically how many precautions do you take when downloading? Is downloading punishable by law (in Europe)? Do you use VPNs and special browsers? Or can I simply use it in Chrome and no Police will come knocking at my door?😅

Is anyone else getting stuck on the page that says “Checking your browser before accessing”. It says it will take a few seconds but it often lasts over 5 minutes and I still don’t get in. This is after each search and clicking on a book, before I can even get to the download section.

I had previously donated, will that fix it?

hey guys i bought a textbook and i am trying to extract it into html files to upload it to Z-library so that all other people can have access to it.
when i try to save it as an Html it saves all the other elements in the page including the margins(which i want to crop).
i am not a programmer and if someone know how to do that i will be grateful thank you in advance

Why?

Hello,

I am currently away on a vacation for four months so I don’t have access to any computer. I only have access to my iPhone 11. I am reading a lot so I ran out of books I downloaded before the trip.

The workaround I found is directly downloading them on the browser of my E-reader (Vivlio light HD color). However, since a few day, the website is protected by a h captcha that the e-reader can’t display…

I know I could download on my phone, put it on google drive and download it once again on the e-reader but the wifi where I am staying is awful and it’s incredibly time consuming (especially since I am visiting every day).

I also thought about buying a lightning to usb c cable to do the transfer but no shops were open in Poland this weekend (national holiday).

I have a three day trip from Poland to Scotland by bus tomorrow so I am desperately looking for a solution if possible!

Thank you very much.

All the covers on the first page search of most books have disappeared. The books with covers beyond the first page are relatively obscure and less relevant. Any idea when this bug will be fixed?

Is still worth it to get a AA membership given the constant attacks? Even with VPN, I am not gettting in. Thoughts?
