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?

    Anna’s Archive. As a fellow Kindle PW user, don’t buy(that is if you can call paying for DRMed ebooks buying) anything on Amazon. Use airplane mode and never turn it off.

      Newish Kindle (basic) user here. Any issue aside from battery life to justify airplane mode always on?

      Being able to translate or look stuff up on Wikipedia is amazing for me.

        Because fuck Amazon. /s

        I’m joking but additional battery life and shutting off telemetry outweighs Wikipedia lookup, that is of course to me. I also bought with-ads version of it so permanent airplane mode keeps it away. (I know I can kinda get them removed by asking Amazon)
