   The Internet Archive really fucked their book archive. I was able to download books from Adobe's gay system and DeDRM them but the copies from Adobe are totally mangled. I ended up writing a python/curl script to just download each JPEG one by one and create CBZs myself.

     @sneeden fr I didn't know about Anna's Archive. Normally just use libgen/zlib. But yeah, even still, a lot of old and obscure.

     @crunklord420 Sounds like a pain in the ass. Is there a significant number of books there that aren't available through Anna's Archive?

     @NEETzsche they contain lots of images, that's why they're hard to get. Out of print books with full-page images are tough.
