E-Books, best places to get them?

Tattorack@lemmy.world to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com – 291 points –

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!

Underrated answer

I recently found out about this and at random searched for a Brazilian author, obviously expecting in Portuguese. I was not disappointed.

Most answers and places are heavily biased to English books, it seems to not be the case here.

Though I'll add a couple of my favorites for works that are free of copyright already

Wiki source. For example, Chekhov page has kinks to both English and original Russian texts https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Author:Anton_Pavlovich_Chekhov

And probably the biggest, project Gutemberg. Searching Cervantes gives you only one book, Don Quijote, though in many editions, and both English and Spanish which is a bit limited.

I love it especially for multiple languages (I Read English and German books)
