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!

Not exactly piracy, but if the book in question is public domain, my favorite site is Standard eBooks! Very high quality books, with proper formatting and translations.

Nice link. Would probably be one of my first places I look for any classic literature. Though it seems fairly limited from just the few searches I did

Yep, that's the biggest downside. I look here first, and if nothing, go elsewhere. What it does have is excellent though.

Great resource. Thanks for sharing!
