Library.nu taken down [Academia] [RAGE] (18)

A little slow off the mark here, but library.nu was recently taken down:

(Its old domain names--ebooksclub.org and gigapedia.com--redirect to this article)

It was a fantastic website that hosted hundreds of thousands of high-quality textbooks. Given the paywalls and high markup of academic content, this is a pretty huge blow to students and NEETs alike.

How do you guys feel about this? I am actually very upset. It's like a modern burning of the Library of Alexandria.

legalreads.com has millions of ebooks and is a good alternative to LNU
