Why is Epublibre not working? Check out these alternatives

If you are a book reader, there are many possibilities that you are also a user of the Epublibre website, since it is undoubtedly the best pages for free books online. It is more and more common to find this page down or without service, for this reason and because we also love reading, we are going to discuss both this topic and the recommendation of functional alternatives now that Epublibre is down.

On all the occasions that the web has fallen, it has returned to work within a few days, but the problem is that it interrupts our reading or spoils the afternoon in which we thought we would spend it reading our book on duty. Now that it seems that we are facing a serious problem, we are going to review the most attractive alternatives to replace it, some of them are so good that perhaps for some it is even a better option even if Epublibre works correctly.

But ... What is or was Epublibre?

For some occasional readers or even for those staunch readers who have read all their lives on paper, we are going to explain what Epublibre is. This page has been on the net since 2013 and has managed to gather a mammoth library of books. If we review specific data from its last update before its final fall, we can see that a library of no less than 41.756 books was reported and almost 120 more books in preparation. The library was based mainly on titles in Spanish, but we could also find a multitude of books in other official languages ​​of the peninsula such as Valencian, Galician, Euskera or Catalan.

How to access the Epublibre catalog?

In order to register on this website it is necessary for our account to be accepted, but it is not a regular registration, we will have to access a long waiting list in which we can spend a long time before being accepted.

Among the most successful of the web is the fact that it has a manual for layout books, fully accessible from its cover. To publish and edit books we have to be members of the web. But to download books there is absolute freedom, so that anyone can access and download books as they please.

All Epublibre books are available in ePub format, although we can find some of them in other formats. The ePub format is the format most used by book readers or EreadersAlthough it is possible to view this type of format on some smartphones or computers, it is not at all advisable due to the blue light of its panels, they tire the eyes excessively. For the download we would have to ensure that we have installed a program for torrent downloads.

Epublibre has been down for a long time. Will it be operational again?

The fact is that Epublibre today is not accessible if we enter from our browser by entering the web address, it is not the first time that a similar situation has been extended in time, Epublibre has suffered significant drops on many occasionsBut it had been a long time since she had suffered such a long drop in time.

You can back? can certainly come back, either with your domain or a different one. Although everything indicates that it can continue to delay in time for us to find ourselves before the 100% operational web. The problem is that misinformation reigns, because Epublibre does not have any kind of official account on social networks, so we cannot access any type of communication from its developers.

Since its fall, some Twitter accounts have emerged but although they appear to be official they are not. The only "official" account from which we have been able to obtain any information is that of the person who is in charge of maintaining the Epublibre hosting services, in his account he has been publishing news about it.

The specific account is @TitivillusEPL in which according to the latest information it said that there was less left for Epublibre to be operational againI say this because is currently suspended, so we cannot view your Twitter profile or your publications. We don't know why, but the account has been blocked by Twitter moderators.

Can Epublibre be accessed even when it's down? There is a method but with limitations.

Method to access Epublibre in its current state. A service called archive.org which is responsible for preserving web pages so that they do not lose their content in situations like this. So you can visit websites that are not available and like this case they may never be available again.

Through your address at archive.org we can access the web normally. But with important limitations, We will not be able to log in or access many content that has not been recorded at archive.org. Among them are the most recent uploads of the page, since archive.org makes a backup from time to time. It's not perfect but at least we'll have access.

Alternatives to Epublibre

We are going to review the best alternatives to Epublibre for reading books in various formats, the vast majority are totally free, but some may have some type of prime subscription.

Amazon books

The mother store of all stores, already the most famous online store of all time, as well as one of the best after-sales services has (for me the best), it also has among its advantages that of having a huge book library if you are a prime member. Classics of literature in our language, such as works by Cervantes, Lorca or Miguel Hernandez ... etc. Not forgetting foreign works translated into Spanish, with the possibility of downloading them in their original language.

Amazon in addition to all this offer of books included in your prime subscription, also offers many books even if you are not a member, but for the price of € 36 year I think it is a very good option, since in addition to this book service, we also have many others, including those in the store or prime video. We will have a succulent discount to buy a Kindle Paperwhite of which we already carried out an analysis in ActualidadGadget.

Archive.org

We have already talked about this website previously in the article, since through it we could access Epublibre even when it is down. Also on this website we can find more than 18.000 books in Spanish. If we add all the existing books in several languages, we add a total of 1,4 million books. We can easily download a lot of content, both in PDF as EPUB, all those titles that interest us the most.

It is undoubtedly one of the largest sources of written culture that we can find on the internet, one of the most recommended now that Epublibre is out of service.

Let's read

In this case we will recommend a paid service under monthly subscription, although we have the possibility to try it before for 30 days. The subscription offers us more than 1000 written books, as well as a huge number of audiobooks, something that is essential for those who have delicate eye health or simply like to listen while resting or relaxing on the sofa.

The titles are grouped between best sellers, classics and novelties. We have an application for iOS and Android, so it will be very comfortable if we want to access from a device with these operating systems. It is one of the many advantages of being paid, since it is, so to speak, a Netflix of books.

Google Books

Another great company that also takes part in the written culture is Google. In addition to offering countless services or the internet search engine par excellence, it has a huge library of electronic books. We will find one large number of books in digital format in any language, including Spanish.

In addition to books, we have access to magazines and newspapers so their offer is very varied. It is a very valid option if we want to read something occasionally, but I do not recommend it as the main source if you are fond of reading books. Since most can only be read and not downloaded.

Editor's recommendation

In my humble opinion if your hobby is reading books, Without a doubt, the best option is the acquisition of a Kindle e-book from Amazon, since these have panels with a technology that is not very aggressive to the eye. and a fairly contained price, in addition I recommend subscribing to Amazon prime, which will give us access to one of the largest book libraries, with many other very interesting additional advantages, such as free shipping in your store or a Premium video service with series and movies at your disposal.
