Books are generally available for renewable 1-hour loans. Some books also offer a longer 14-day loan; for these books, if there are no copies available, users can join a waitlist. (There is currently no waitlist available for books that only offer 1-hour loans.)
Books in the lending library (PDF and EPUB) are managed through digital rights management (DRM) book readers such as Adobe Digital Editions, which you may need to download to manage your library of borrowed books.

Additionally, the Association of American Publishers (AAP), the trade organization behind the lawsuit, worked with some of its member publishers (listed below) that were not named in the lawsuit to demand that we remove their books from our library.
As a result, more than 500,000 books in our collection are not currently available for borrowing, including more than 1,300 banned and challenged books. We understand that this is a devastating loss for our patrons, and we are fighting back through the courts to restore access to these books. Fortunately, other countries and international library organizations are moving to support controlled digital lending. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we fight this long battle. For inquiries, please contact patron services at info@archive.org.
A Slightly Curving Place asks what it means to listen to the past and its absence which remains. It responds to the practice of Manthravadi, who has been building ambisonic microphones since the 1990s to measure the acoustic properties of premodern performance spaces. Comprising a range of perspectives in which his propositions reverberate, the publication attends to what he does, and to the political and performative potential of the past that he opens up.
Leon Boyadjian was a hoarder. Besides a vast body of work, he purposely left behind him professional and personal documents: books, periodicals, press clippings, certificates, letters, notes, lists, and assorted ephemera. With such a plethora of material, something had to be done.
The publications in this series reflect, expand, and document the activities of the research, discursive, performative, and curatorial projects of S A V V Y Contemporary. By acknowledging the limits and faults of academic disciplines and advocating for processes of unlearning, our effort is thus to create a platform which encourages extra-disciplinary knowledges and promotes the thinking and writing of authors, artists, philosophers, scientists, and activists whose practices challenge Western epistemologies: looking towards epistemic systems from Africa and the African diaspora, Asia-Pacific, the Middle-East and Latin America.
So what is the impact of these final orders on our library? Broadly, this injunction will result in a significant loss of access to valuable knowledge for the public. It means that people who are not part of an elite institution or who do not live near a well-funded public library will lose access to books they cannot read otherwise. It is a sad day for the Internet Archive, our patrons, and for all libraries.
Libraries are going to have to fight to be able to buy, preserve, and lend digital books outside of the confines of temporary licensed access. We deeply appreciate your support as we continue this fight!
But I suspect that most of the microfilms are things like old journals that no one has digitally and never will. Which does raise the next question: are materials available on JSTOR or Proquest considered to be exempt or non-exempt from IA use?
What I would also find useful, on catalog entries for works still in copyright (alongside the Bibliographic data), is appropriate links either to booksellers websites (examples being Amazon, abebooks, Barnes and Nobel, Waterstones amongst others) where I can purchase the work concerned, or to (paid) subscription services that allow a copyright work to be legally purchased or viewed.
Really, who comes here to get a copy of any of those commercial bestsellers, of any generation? We come here for orphan works, old magazines, out-of-print books that no publisher is ever going to make available again, etc.

The injunction clarifies that the Publisher Plaintiffs will notify us of their commercially available books, and the Internet Archive will expeditiously remove them from lending.

From my understanding of the proceeding, only titles directly offered from the 4 aforementioned publishers under AAP or their own respective umbrella of outlets are included in this injunction. Nothing else.
Titles that are under AAP umbrella but not of those 4 publishers, titles that are not under AAP umbrella including those affiliated with or digitized via Amazon, Google, Audible, and the likes are not inclusive under this injunction.
Good. Piracy is wrong. Intellectual property rights belong to the creators and their heirs, who can choose to license some of those rights to commercial publishers, movie studios, foreign publishers, etc. What IA did was completely wrong, as the court case made conclusive.
Will the Internet Archive verify (and/or allow users to verify) that books removed under this provision continue to be available in electronic format from the publishers? Publishers might in the future delete them from electronic distribution or impose unreasonable terms so there needs to be some checks on that publishers list.
It is a sad day for America when everything is monetized. Many people, who are interested in varied subjects, do not have access to large libraries and repositories. IA fills a gap for many of us who do not have the means to ttravel or discretionary funds to purchase printed material for our subject of ibterest.
I love reading on my new iPad but with a growing number of books, I would like to be able to archive those I've read. I could do this on my Nook & was surprised when I couldn't find a way on the iPad.....anyone know of a way? Thanks...
You can delete them from your iPad via the Edit button at the top right of the bookshelf in the iBooks app, and as long as they remain in the store then you can re-download them via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks app - but you may first want to copy them to the Books section of your computer's iTunes library via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you have your own copy of them that you can then sync back to the iPad.
I am currently listening to Stormpod read The Way of Kings, so I guess it is currently my favorite? Really, all the books have their strengths and weaknesses, and I have a hard time picking out which I love most. TWoK has the best Sanderlanche in my opinion, culminating in Dalinar giving up Oathbringer. But really, the answer might actually be, "Whichever one I am currently rereading."
OB is probably the best on the first read, but after that it becomes stale. So much rides on Dalinar's character that there is barely any spectical until the end. Making it all in all a thoroughly middling book
To me, of course each new book will be more interesting, if only because I'm (probably we are) so passionate about the magic system and the characters that it just gets more and more interesting the further we go.
Way of Kings is a Masterpiece of a book which does such an incredible job getting you in this world of rockbuds and misterious shattered planes and "Szeth-son-son-vallano, Truthless of Shinovar". Yes I just finished re-reading it
Probably Rhythm of War, even though i think it has the weakest writing of the four. I really enjoy the realmatic-theory side of the cosmere, so Navani's story was really interesting (not to mention I loved the lesbian romance arc, intentional or not), and it was the first cosmere release where I was involved in the fandom and following along, which made for a very fun experience.
I love them all, but Way of Kings (in my opinion) does the most and best worldbuilding of a new and interesting setting and introduces the most interesting, novel ideas. I was really excited by the implications of a fighter that could manipulate gravity, of the behavior of Shardblades and Plate, of the medieval-esque combat on terrain like the Shattered Plains, of Alethi social organization, of a world battered by semi-regular one-directional hurricanes, of spren appearing when something draws them, of currency which is a source of domestic light and also has central value because it fuels the Soulcasters on which modern society largely depends. All cool ideas, well thought out, and consequences thoughtfully considered and well presented. 152ee80cbc
