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!

This, this, this!!! I love MAM for ebooks and audiobooks.

Yeah honestly ebooks and audiobooks are a solved problem thanks to MAM.

The worst part about mam is that I feel useless because I consume way more than I contribute.

As long as you keep seeding torrents indefinitely, you're contributing by keeping those torrents alive. That's a huge benefit to the community, and it's why you can get upload credit even if you aren't uploading.

And the fact that ebooks take almost no space means you can indefinitely seed thousands of books even if it's from a small hard drive.

So don't feel useless. In fact, I want to thank you for helping out.

Yeah I know, but I wanna see that uploaded counter go up and it never does. Also I mostly torrent audiobooks and I don't have much hd space

Edit: disregard this comment

But getting in is not very easy and many torrents are behind a VIP-wall (you can buy VIP for seeding-bonus points). The tracker is focused on audiobooks, but there are also many e-books available.
