Z-Library and Other Ebook Upload Sites (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Working link for Z-Lib: https://zlibrary-asia.se/

There're books I'm searching for that haven't been uploaded to the mainstream ebook sites (libgen, z-lib, AA, etc.) mainly lifestyle magazines and non-fiction books. I checked the links in the megathread and those sites don't have them either. So where do you all go when all else fails?

I'd love to learn how to pirate books on my own, since my only exposure is ripping books from The Internet Archive with Calibre. I've made book requests to Z-Library, but who knows when an uploader may get to it. VK used to be one of my go-to sources for magazines and novels, but it's harder to find legitimate links and many of the older uploaders seemed to have disappeared. Twirpx doesn't seem to get uploads frequently enough, so I've really only used it to upload new books myself or download outdated texts.

Anna's Archive is a great resource. It has mirrors for libgen, zlib and other sources. I've never found something elsewhere that I couldn't find on there.

Thank you, but I already checked AA and unfortunately, it didn't have any of them. Ebook3000 used to have most magazine issues, but it finally shutdown some time this year and I have no clue if it's permanently gone or they changed their URL. Ebook-Hunter is a bit of a letdown compared to it, but I suppose beggars can't exactly be choosers.
