I haven’t used Feedbooks in more than a decade. I bet the last time was back when I still had a PalmOS device.

I think I've got some freebies from in the past; last time I looked they'd largely gone from the site.

If I had an account, it was under my first e-mail address. So I can't even reset my password because there was no e-mail forwarding service provided.

After reading about Feedbooks elsewhere I logged in and checked my account. I had 4 books attached to my account of which 3 were no longer available for download. I have all 4 in my calibre library so all is well.

I presume that will also be the end of the Feedboooks OPDS catalog?

I wonder if the public domain selection will remain or also vanish.

I was looking at the new "feedbooks". Does anyone have experience with the new site? Looking at Demon Copperhead, apparently you can borrow the book. Anyone have experience with this? I tried looking for info on the site, but is sooooooooooooo sloooooooow.

It's a loan. It's using LCP DRM.

Sure. Borrow implies a loan.

But what are the details. Is it a subscription service? Do you pay per loan?

Have you tried any of the loans?

I'm wondering what the details of their business model is.

I don't see a "borrow" button. All I see are links for excerpts (for this book).

I would investigate the website, but it is too slow.

It would be best to start a new thread about any new feedbooks website, IMO.
