The crash of the Aussie dollar means buying books from the US is now very expensive . And no, most of what I want ( non fiction technical books ) are not available here in dead tree nor available on audible
Have you tried libgen?
It's russian and there is no way in hell I would go there or install the app . There appears to be some safe mirrors of the site, I'll have a look at those.
But now you mention it I should have a look at internet archive to see what they have.
I've not had any issues with Anna's Archive.
Thanks, I'll check that out. 😊

It is russian but it's a huge resource.
