How do you know if a book you pirated is complete/original/full etc ? (lemmy.sdf.org)

I downloaded a certain epub from Anna's archive but as i have never read it before and i don't know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don't think I'm allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i'll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv episode i can check the length and can tell if it was cut . Do i have to download multiple copies ? even then how would i compare ? Anna's archive is showing me so many results on the same book . If anyone wanna help me out by sending me the links to a copy they are sure is full/real thing as they have read it before do feel free to dm or reach out on this thread if that's not against the rule .

Just to let everyone know which book i'm talkin about i'll drop a hint - It has a show in which a pretty beloved celebrity starred who is also a huge fan of the series and quit due to showrunners incompetence . It also has a pretty succesful game series and the book i'm trying to read is the first one of the series which consists of many shorts stories if i'm not mistaken . If this is also against the rules do let me know and i'll remove it .

Edit : typos and maybe wrong sub or c or whatever and maybe might have broken a few rules even tho i have tried hard to not breake any .

You could see if Broward County still let's everyone get a card and try with the Libby app.

Interesting. Maybe it's geolocked? Even though I'm not in the US. Do you have a VPN?

not worth it, you have to wait for ages to get the book you want. (although at that point, you may as well dedrm the book and keep it. no need to pirate)
