    Have you tried Anna’s Archive? Link I don’t have a problem using this for out of print stuff and stuff that Amazon Australia AND Goodreads has blocked for Australia. Also anything that’s too bloody expensive and I can’t find it secondhand.

      Ooh, ty! I don’t think this particular book is out of copyright yet though (borrowed a copy from the library) so I hope this site doesn’t get in strife…

      Oops. It looks to be a torrent site and I don’t have a vpn 😳

      Edit: As much as I hate to use Amazon I managed to find a used copy in England for $30 with $5 delivery, I jumped on it because I think it’s the best I’m gonna get.

        There’s a non-torrent option for ‘slow connections’ that I’ve been using, with few problems so far. Only problem if you could call it that is downloading items that are pdf files - takes a while and is more of a pain to read on desktop kindle. The epubs are easily readable on kindle.

          I’m worried about the legal side. I agree with torrenting in theory to archive stuff that would otherwise be lost, and the probability is low, but I can’t afford to risk any hassles
