You have my sympathy. I have been searching for the annotated version for years now. Any readable versions seem to have disappeared.

This is a good reminder for me to make backups of the ebooks I do have.

View on HN

Is this the version you have been searching for? It is "A Fire Upon the Deep" and it looks annotated.

That might be it. The annotations look like the kind of thing I remember.

I got it from a private tracker but it looks like you can find it on libgen fiction too [0]. The 1.7Mb epub one is the one I got.

>O site a que pretende aceder encontra-se bloqueado na sequência do cumprimento de ordem judicial ou administrativa.

(The website you want to reach is blocked due to the execution of a judicial or administrative order).

Ah the World Wide Web, less world-wide every day. I guess now if you don't use a VPN you're a second class netizen in many places.

Don't worry. You're a second class netizen with a VPN too. You'll just spend half your time solving Google's ReCaptcha instead of being blocked outright.

No need for a VPN yet, thankfully it's just a DNS block.

I didn't even consider that, I'll just switch my DNS then, thanks.

And for rare, out of print books, you can put them on libgen if you want to save someone else the time

Note that I probably have a backup of this book (I'm sure it is on one of my old decommissioned backup drives), it's unlocking it that is the problem.
