Archive.Org has a version - once I'd switched on my VPN as now the English govt imps are blocking it... BUT it employs this weird DRM 'loan' system - here's a s-shot:

Query$AllHailEris = Go forward in time Hal and [b]ask AI-HAL-CHAT-G&T[/b] why the thing called BB code screws up so easily, despite beng used by genius type like myself?
Maybe it's a butterfly effect from Trump in Butler, PA?
OOh that's deep Hal-G&T... did you get a slice of lemon with that? :-p

You can easily bypass archives ridiculous loan system. Process is pretty simple once you get in the flow.
1. Create an archive.org account.
2. Download adobe digital editions and calibre.
3. Go to archive.org and click on "borrow".
4. Select and copy the unique part of the download link from your browser and paste it in between the brackets of the following link. (Example provided below).
- https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=[ ]&format=pdf&redirect=1
- Then delete the two brackets from the newly created link
- For example, after clicking on the borrow button, I have the following link for a book:
https://archive.org/details/mathematicsofcos0000plum
- Copy the part of the link after " details/ ".... - In this case it would look like : mathematicsofcos0000plum
- Paste that into the new link. It will look like this: https://archive.org/services/loans/loan/?action=media_url&identifier=mat...
5. Paste that new link into browser.
6. You will then download an .ascm file. Do this for all the books you can handle within a half hour time span to then allow for half hour to process all the books (since you only have an hour to "borrow").
7. Take each of those .ascm files and batch open them with Digital Editions.
8. Locate the files within the Digital Editions directory.
9. Take those files and load into Calibre.
10. Go to the Calibre directory to use your new copies of the PDFs that are now free and clear of the archive.org and drm bs.
