The Best BookZZ Alternatives - What to Use After BookZZ has disappeared

RIP BookZZ, you helped many netizens find Kindle, PDF, and iPad format books to read without having to rely on a limited selection from the local library.

While the interface is about as exciting as a search engine circa 1997, the search does have several options to hone in on the exact book you're look for.  The search results pages also show the format and size of the book, saving valuable time when you only want books in a preferred format, like mobi for Kindle.


Search tricks, like combining one keyword from the title and the author's last name can provide very accurate search results.  The example below was to find the book "The Art of Creative Thinking" by John Adair.  Other searches with just keywords from the title created a huge pile of irrelevant search results that too broadly matched the keywords.



Z Library https://b-ok.cc
The interface of Z Library is nearly identical to the late BookZZ website.  The homepage features a visual splash with the most popular book downloads.



The Single book page on Z Library includes the cover image, publication year, edition (important for academic and college books), the book file format, and book file size.



The download menu provides multiple native options for many books, like PDF, Mobie (Kindle), or ePub (iPad).  There's also an integrated conversion menu if you need the book in a different format.




Book recommendation engine seems to be pretty smart.  These were books recommended while viewing the "5am Club" book by
