Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ

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doesn't seem to get uploads frequently enough, so I've really only used it to upload new books myself or download outdated texts.
