I want to get back into reading, so I’m thinking of getting a Paperwhite. But I have no idea if it’s possible to transfer files to it from a computer, and I have no experience with pirating books.
Do I go to the same places I torrent movies and games or are there special places dedicated to E-Books?
EDIT: So many awesome answers on here! You guys have been very helpful. Thanks a lot!
I was thinking about epub support, but apparently they do now but dropped mobi support. I haven’t used a Kindle in awhile so no idea if there are any caveats. Here’s the full list for anyone interested:

Kindle no longer supports MOBI for their send to kindle feature (as of Nov 1). Not that it really matters, most people should be using EPUB nowadays anyways.

What are they? The only thing I can think of is that pdfs kinda suck.

I never knew they didn’t support epub.
Kindles only support AZW3 or MOBI. Converting isn’t a huge hassle (thanks Calibre)

I use epub on mine, after downloading it from z-lib using my phone. Then I just send it to Kindle and have never had any issues.
