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!

IRC is where it’s at. In the many years I’ve been using it to download books there’s only been a handful of books I’ve been unable to find.

Just want to add that if you find a rare ebook not on libgen, do you civic duty and take the time to upload it, it only takes a few minutes and it’s rewarding being able to save some time for others.

But the libgen upload interface is cumbersome, requires way too many details and has regularly denied my uploads whenever I tried.

That do audio books too?
