Pro Tip: almost any paywall article has the full unlocked article on the Internet archive.

Edit: my point is, instead of tricking google so you rank well you should actually have a paywall. Or if you want to rank, make your content free. Specificly those site that don't need to have a paywall because the unlocked content is a grand total of 200 words.

There's a program called readarr, coupled with jackett and qbittorrent it will build you a library of ebooks very quickly. readarr manages the downloads, monitors your authors for new releases etc, jackett indexes the torrent sites it looks for downloads on, and qbittorrent does the actual download.

https://readarr.com/

https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/releases

https://www.qbittorrent.org/

After installation open jackett's url to select torrent sites to index. Then open readarr's url to add those indexed sites using the torznab urls and api key jackett gives you. Then inside readarr add the qbittorrent url/username/password as download client. Then add authors you like and enjoy.

Publishers are fighting to keep their monopoly against a technology that has rendered them obsolete.

Somebody, somewhere, has made or is working on a tool to strip DRM from amazon ebooks as I type here.

Hachette and all the other Big Books companies are gonna lose in the long run, and there is nothing they can do about it.
