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!
Just because no-one has mentioned it yet.
Your local library. You probably don’t even have to go in, once you’re account is set up you can check out books online.
My biggest issue with ebooks in the library, and what led me into more ebook Piracy. Having to wait to check out a digital book. I know the library has to pay like yearly licensing subscriptions to a lot of these books, and it’s just so annoying to me that it doesn’t cover everybody having access to it. I sit on the library board and one thing we’re talking about doing is a graphic novel service for a lot of the youth. And low key, I’m stoked for the graphic novel service too. But that one’s unlimited access.
Fair enough, maybe it’s just the size of my library/library conglomerate, but I’ve never waited for an ebook.
That’s fair. I live in a very rural town
Going into a library is like choosing a movie from Netflix. If you don’t know what you want it’s fine. But if you’re after a specific book, big chances it’s not there.
Example: I’ve read over 100 star Trek books, none of the libraries around me have any in the series, and I’m on a 3M people city.
