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!

There are some websites like z-lib that still work. Also, I usually just hunt for books on search engines, sometimes I also find copies on VK.

Yeah, you can sideload pirate ebooks onto a Kindle. There are some restrictions with file formats, most people use Calibre if they run into issues with them. For ebooks I just grab mine from libgen most of the time.

There are e-libraries if you go with a non Amazon device. They're great

Are there any good non-amazon ebook readers?

Look at the Kobo e-readers
