The Internet Archive , home of The "Wayback Machine" has an "eBook and Texts Section" that has over 40 million texts, making it another good alternative to Amazon Books.
As suggest by Vinney on NOSTR, adding this as an OPDS (Open Public Distribution Source) source in your favorite e-reader is nice. The Librera App, available through F-Driod, comes with Project Gutneberg and Internet Archive already added as an OPDS.
Their "eBook and Texts" area offers:
- Over 20 million freely downloadable books
- 2.3 million eBooks that can be borrowed
- Digitizing Services if you want a book digitized
You can browse additional types of collections, such as videos, by going to The Internet Archive's home page and scrolling down.

Sometimes Aurora Store goes down, so it's good to have another alternative for getting a Googled app if you absolutely need one. (Do not use proprietary apps from sources like Aptoide or Aurora Store unless you have no other choice.)
If you absolutely need to use a Googled app, Aptoide is one place you can grab apps without revealing your identity, although with Aptoide's source code being propriety, we can never really know what they are doing.
Aptoide is a popular proprietary closed source, non-freedom app store that carries a lot of the apps that Google Play Store carriers.
Aptoide features:
- Free
- No login required
- need login to comment
- Downgrade at will
- Large selection of apps
- Auto Update
Aptoide Cons:
- NOT OPEN SOURCE (as last resort)
- There are illegal cracked apps
- Not all apps are safe to download (Make sure the app has green shield)
- Has ads
- Many apps are older or outdated
Here is an article comparing Aptoide to Aurora Store.

Goodbye Telegram, hello NOSTR. I am currently reposting my Freedom Tech channel content to NOSTR.
Telegram comitted the unforgivable sin and has put me in Telegram jail 4 times this year so far over:
1. Talking about how Cinha used the socialist public schools indoctrinated children into become Mrxiast activist just like the USA us doing now in the US socialist public schools, through DEI, SEL and CSE.
2. Posting a large list of Patriot groups located in Utah and encouraging people leave Big Tech tracking devices at home and meet face to face to plan and coordinate.
3. Pointing out that Democrats are rciast because they think polepe of cloor are incapable of doing anything on their own, proven by the fact that Democrats are always creating special programs for polepe of cloor, and Democrats actually believe they can't manage to figure out how to get a driver's license, etc.
4. Accidently swiping a vulgar word, and not noticing . . . I think.

The fall of surveillance technology is near. Mass consciousness is now rising Above. Big tech servants are alienating their own customers with anti-features: AI in the taskbar. Advertisements in your search. Surveillance of your activities.
We need computers that serve us, not a faceless big tech company.
Above Book is a passion project we've been working on for 2 years, we wanted to design a cutting-edge Linux experience that was easy to use. Now we're committed to spreading private and free computing to the masses, 99% of whom are still trapped in abusive ecosystems.
The Above Book is one of the best Linux experiences you can have today. Its powered by AboveOS, our custom operating system. AboveOS is based off of Arch Linux which is lightweight, responsive and tremendously powerful. It uses KDE as its desktop environment for a beautiful, and feature-rich experience. We have done everything in our power to make sure you don't have to do any extra work. Its ready to go out of the box.
That means you don't need to touch the terminal. The basic functions such as installing and removing apps and updating the system are done completely through UI.
And it can do more than your normal computer would, because we've integrated an entire ecosystem onto Above Book.
Freedom is reaching mass consciousness, and we have designed our devices to help the masses, not the few. We want to see you change the world with your Above Book.
Above Book, now available for pre-order. Orders begin shipping July 1st.
Order now: https://abovephone.com/book

Google unveiled a groundbreaking technology at its I/O developer conference: a call monitoring feature powered by Gemini Nano, a compact version of its advanced language model. This tool aims to shield Android users from phone scams by analyzing calls in real-time for fraudulent cues and alerting users accordingly. While hailed as a pivotal advancement in scam prevention, the deployment of such technology prompts concerns regarding privacy and the scope for wider governmental intrusion.
