- comrade1234I got burned buying a trilogy with a good rating on goodreads. I only read the first 1.5 books and didn't bother after that. It sucked and when I looked again later it had a more relevant rating. I think the initial score was gamed by bots.So now I download from Anna's archive and if it's as good as I expected based on ratings then I pay for it, which I've done most recently for Children of Time.Thankfully I live somewhere where I can download legally.

- kace91It's very strange to me how small Spanish is there.Second language in the world by native speakers, piracy being effectively legal in Spain (non commercially), and so on.
- fakefishThe bookshelf is nice, but I'd love to be able to read the titles more easily - maybe rotate by 90 degrees?
- rosstexThis makes it feel like there aren't many books in the world
- ZenDroidHow much can you zoom it? Yes.
- implode7569Feels like a market map for books. Very cool.
- atulviIs there a similar one for IP?
- shevy-javaOne problem I see with annas archive is that there is a tendency towards older books. Now I do understand this for many reasons, but ... I recently read a book about steel construction in 1932, just for curiousity. I wanted to find a more recent one - did not even have to be, say, 1990 or 2000 or some such, but I simply could not find any (well, perhaps english speaking, but this is also a problem in that non-english languages are VERY underpresented in general).I hope they can fix this in the long run. We need to preserve digital information on a much broader basis.
- FrustratedMonkyThis is really nice.When zoomed all the way, it is a book shelf. Totally un-expected, nice touch.
- chcardozthis is really cool!
