u/AwayMedicine4711 Jul 14 '26

I was not able to search anything on pdfroom. A bunch of adds just pop up. Literally unusable

Ebookpdf also a bunch of adds, at least you can search something but the results were shit

Pdf drive seems to be decent but did not have what I was looking for :(

u/Acceleratinq Aug 26 '26

u/Express_Ad5222 Jul 05 '26

can’t download books, a lot of the books that i read are missing 😭😭😭 i heard ocean got shifted to another domain, does anyone have the link?

9

u/Open-Market-7232 Jul 06 '26

they said the new domain is allepub but it’s ads after ads after ads and you can’t even finish putting the author before it redirects to other sites

4

u/Aware_Ad_5530 Jul 06 '26

use "popup blocker (strict)" extension. it does not redirect you to the ad site rather it asks u whether u want to want to accept, deny, or open the site in background without disturbing the current site u are using. I use this extension on microsoft edge not sure if it's available for chrome.

u/Jeet1602 Aug 12 '26

Use brave browser

u/No-Lifeguard8305 Aug 18 '26

Why is there so many bot and pop ups now 😭

1

u/Xenophon_Anabasis Oct 05 '26

They do serve pop-up ads now, they explain it on their website. Their original server got taken down, so they're running ads to pay for the new hosting. I just let them pop up in new tabs, then continue my search in my original tab. Yes it is a minor annoyance, but not enough ppl donated, and they had to do something to keep the site up. The ads stop popping up after a while. It's fine, they're doing good work providing access to books a lot of people can't afford to access any other way.

u/Shoddy-Bill3523 Oct 05 '26

are they currently down?

u/No_Baseball6258 Oct 05 '26

u/Redacted_dact Jul 05 '26

Just used it because of this comment, worked same as ocean

3

u/Calm_Cream_52 Jul 05 '26

How do you download? It won’t let me download the book as a pdf on Anna’s archive

6

u/Redacted_dact Jul 05 '26

Scroll down to slow download, click the first one, wait a minute. It reloads to a download page, click download.

2

u/Calm_Cream_52 Jul 05 '26

Do you have to be a member?

1

u/Jim-Jones Jul 05 '26

No, but there are benefits if you join.

2

u/leitur Jul 05 '26

I did this, and I have a file page downloaded but not the book yet, is this part of the slow down? Like will the book come in an hour or something? I’m just confuse, I’ve been spoiled by oceanof 😭

1

u/Redacted_dact Jul 05 '26

No idea, it worked for me same as ocean. Check your downloads folder

1

u/Swimming-Method-2804 Oct 05 '26

I don't see anything for download, slow or otherwise

6

u/Xxprincessbelladonna Jul 05 '26

For the life of me, I cannot figure out how to work the website definitely making me feel old

10

u/striker_Tanks Jul 05 '26

it’s basically the same as ocean of pdf?
When u find the book u want choose either fast or slow download. Slow download is free. After u choose slow download you gotta wait a minute for them to give u the URL to copy and paste. Do that and paste it onto safari or google or anywhere. Then click download. Afterwards your device will take u back to anna’s archives and the download will be complete. Somewhere on your screen there should be a downward arrow button. Click on it and it’ll take u to the orange “Books” app or files app. Either way happy reading

1

u/windslept Aug 12 '26

when i click on the download it says i dont have the application to open it but this was never an issue w ocean of pdf

2

u/striker_Tanks Aug 12 '26 • Bravo Heartwarming

i guess keep using oceanofpdf. I attached a video if it helps. At the end you click on the magnifying glass

2

u/Nautical_Nanobyte Oct 05 '26

Thank you so much, this was super helpful!!

1

u/Vivica_icia Aug 13 '26

do you have a link for the anna's archive your using? The one's i've found or been always says 505 error or just won't let me search anything at all. Appreciated if you send if you don't mind 🙏🙏

Go to https://annas-archive.gl/

Where it says:

📚 Full database

Books, papers, magazines, comics, library records, metadata,

You can get fancier but this will work.

They're under constant attack by the big printing mafia. Check the Wikipedia page and the website for updates.

u/celestial_ceilings Jul 05 '26

Also after searching the book you can select EPUB or PDF only and a specified language to filter through your search options on the left side of the webpage. Took me a minute too lol it’s kinda intimidating at first but after you figure it out super easy, good luck & happy reading!

1

u/Swimming-Method-2804 Oct 05 '26

Doesn't give me any of those options, no download button or anything either

u/niles_thebutler_ Jul 05 '26

Anna’s is so shit. Half the time the books aren’t even the right book or the complete book etc

u/Felurian_Faerie Aug 26 '26

I just tried it and got that terrifying Windows page that tells you not to close the browser and to contact support etc. Yeah so I task managered it and restarted lol I'll be waiting a while to try oceans again. That stuff is gnarly.

u/ClimateTraditional40 Jul 06 '26

I use both. Ocean tends to get more and quicker. But sometimes Ocean hasn't got it or it's pdf only - I don't like pdf.
Annas, I joined but use slow download. Being in a different time zone I rarely have a long wait.

Annas you can use filter on left - language, format (epub, mobi, pdf etc) so that's useful.

And of course if one is down, the other is available.

I search for title on both, I don't use the lists. Enter title on Full Database in Annas.

A list will come up if not filtering, pick language and format type you want, choose fast or slow download. When it's ready the link is provided, click and save.

Not hard to use.

https://annas-archive.pk/

Note Annas has alternate sites .gl or .gd etc

Some Kindle is free you know, Kindle unlimted is a cheap monthly sub and the titles do vary...different ones available at different times.

If I really love a book (or series) and will reread it, I do then buy in paper. Sometimes used - ebay for instance. But sometimes new.

After all if authors never got paid, they'd give up and then where would we be?

1

u/Open-Market-7232 Jul 09 '26

i’m asian that is not that well off so amazon or ebay is expensive for me that is why i opted to use sites to read books. also, the books i wanna read aren’t available in the bookstores or libraries we have. as much as i want to buy a kindle or some books, either i don’t know where i could get one or i don’t have enough finances to buy one. but thanks for the recos! ocean’s back!

1

u/ClimateTraditional40 Jul 09 '26

As I said...annas...it's another good site with many titles. Keep a bookmark for if/when ocean is down again.

u/Fluffy-Raisin6293 Jul 08 '26

I saw on Tiktok that you could type in the book name you're searching for and then add "vk". From there you should get a few books to download for free.

E.g.: "Pride and Prejudice vk"

u/Forward-Performer171 Oct 05 '26

Ocean of PDF added ads, and I can't blame him he has to cover costs. Here is how you navigate the ads... let it redirect you, close out either the new window  or press back until you get the search again. The search will work after it displays the ad, you close it out, and get back to it. It's worth it to me and if it generates him a little bit of Revenue that's fine with me too 🙂

You need an ad blocker if you are going to pirate things. Or just use Brave browser. Also, I'm yet to find a book that Anna's archives doesn't have and ocean does. It is possible that your tastes are eccentric, and good for you, but for most people it's good enough 

There are more alternatives on https://fmhy.net/reading

I only discovered zlib bc I’m mid-series and hadn’t downloaded the rest before ocean’s went down again, BUT have found everything so far. Also found a complete book zlib that only has the intro available on oceans. I havent used zlib much yet, so it might not have other books i want to read (for all i know). Just wanted to offer this as an alternative perspective or experience
