Where are the ebook collections? Back in the day I recall finding lots of well curated and conveniently packaged ebook collections. Things like Goodreads choice 20XX, top 100 sci-fi of all time, etc. These days I know plenty of places generously providing individual books, but not where to find these nice collections. The ability to browse popular releases would also be nice. Ideally I would avoid needing to setup specialized tools, like readarr. But if something like its list feature simply blows away any other options I’d consider it; whatever gets the best results in the least time.

    I’ve found the best place lately are private bittorrent trackers. There’s one ran by a so called anonymous rodent that works pretty well and has hundreds of collections.

  • aside from stuff like annas archive / libgen in the past, i had ok luck using dht search sites like bt4g ~org~ but it was very hit and miss in terms of whether the torrent/magnet still had seeds. but that approach did have some collections like what you mentioned. i havent really done it that way in a long time so not sure how well it works these days tho… like I searched a couple things similar to what you had in the OP and did get some small number of results (less than 1 page). some of those appeared valid but watch out cuz there were also some obvious malware ones that were like .exe. Probably not the best way to do things for 2026+ … could also check fmhy.net/reading but i suspect most of those are also going to be geared more towards individual books than collections
