Interesting, thanks. I wonder if the block was more localized then all of Germany, if it was simply misconfigured, or if they just decided to stop blocking the traffic.

They only block the books themselves, not the index pages. Attempting to view any book will result in a block message.

I'm on one of the biggest German ISPs (Deutsche Telekom) and I can access front page and books just fine.
Tried it with the HTML versions of four different books, among them "most popular" like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and A Tale of Two Cities, they all work without issue.

Vodafone/Kabel Deutschland doesn't seem to be blocked either. (I tried a couple from the 18 that are supposed to be blocked.)

Works fine for me for all books I tested. Can you name some specific ones which are blocked for you?
