Anybody have any recommendations for public or private trackers for ebooks? Looking mainly for epub files.

Why the downvotes? Lol

People don't like TPB because it is infamous for being packed with malware and sketchy uploads. I assume people were downvoting because there are a lot of safer and more reliable options for epub sourcing

I don't think anyone is retarded enough to download a exe file when searching for a epub

Fun fact: epub can contain a virus without being an exe. Epub is essentially an archive of text, image and stylesheet files (try opening it with WinRAR, you might be surprised). You can put a malware script inside that archive, and it won't flag until you try opening that ebook on your PC. So you actually need to be more careful with ebooks than, say, video or audio files.
