Try "Contemporary Religious Satanism" and see if it works for you. You'll find all the problems I've mentioned.

Is it a problem to want more options? To want a distributed network of available books for knowledge? Does everything needs to be concentrated in Anna's Archive? Does it seem without failures to you?

Search for the same book in z-lib. Copyright claims have removed the book!

Don't you agree people should resist more about this instead of letting everything for the hands of Anna's Archive? Does this make sense to you?

The whole point of AA is that it's not centralized, or "left in their hands." The software is open source and all the data and metadata is hosted via torrents, so anyone with enough space can just spin up a mirror with everything intact.

As for the book you mentioned, I was able to download it via a slow mirror in around 6 minutes (4mb file), no issues at all. As I did not actually read the book, though, I have no idea whether anything is wrong with the contents, but a quick scroll through gives no issues.

I haven't tested Bookcracy at all, but a quick glance doesn't look like it's open source or really tell me where the books are from (might be from the AA torrents!), so I will just stick to AA, personally. Especially since they are also not listed on any of the shadow library tracking pages (like SLUM).

I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with AA, but I was just adding the counterpoint that I have had no such issues overall, and anyone who has the same experience may upvote my comment as they wish.
