| Where it stops | Public-domain status is asserted by uploaders rather than cleared centrally, and print quality runs from restored to barely watchable. | It lists the service, not what you pay after bundles and regional packages, and smaller local platforms are patchily covered. | It is an interview archive rather than a recommendation engine, heavily weighted to non-fiction, and it cannot tell you what you have already read. | Figures are crowd-submitted averages, so new or obscure titles have thin samples and wide spreads. |
