        You need an IRC client that supports DCC transfers. There are a number but AdiIRC is good for windows and free. I use mIRC which is paid. In mine I need to add epubs to my allow list otherwise it prompts me. Also might want to check the settings in your IRC client to make sure you are putting the DCC files somewhere convenient.

        Then you connect to a server that hosts books. IRCHighway.net has an #ebooks channel.

        Once connected to this server and channel you will use the search command to find your book such as “@search morning glory”. It will send you a zip containing a text file with the results.

        You can copy and paste the result for the book you like in the channel such as “!Firebound %DD3069756FAF% C.M. Nascosta - [Cambric Creek_ Sweet & Steamy Monster Romance 01] - Morning Glory Milking Farm.epub” This will download the epub file.

        This is an optional step but I import that into calibre library (another free app) and run a few tools on it before I export it to my e-ink reader in the kepub format (I have a plugin that converts it to the kobo format so my device counts pages properly).

        Then you can enjoy your stolen book about a woman who gets a job jacking off minotaurs for a living and falls in love with one who’s cock is just right! Hope this helps.
