Hacker News Reader

I've downloaded single books several times recently (annas-archive.org in the browser):

  - search for book
  - tap a result
  - see a list of links to download mirrors (under 'slow downloads'), tap a link
  - get a countdown timer
  - timer expires, download links appear
  - click a link, book downloads just like any other download

The waiting part is nonexistent if you have an active donation (which is also required by this MCP server for API access). The fast downloads mean you request a book and start downloading it immediately.

"Donation". Let's call it what it is - a subscription.

So just 8 or 9 steps to grab a e-book, instead of just letting the LLM recall it from training data... /s
