E-Books, best places to get them? (lemmy.world)

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!

Amazon actually deprecated the MOBI standard on there and switched to EPUB.

I wonder when they did that. I've never updated my kindle, it's never even been on the internet so I'm stuck in 2021/2022.

Either way I have KOreader now and it's amazing. Just reading that I can connect it to the internet for more features and reading how to do that while blocking amazon. I still might not connect it or I'll put it on my IOT wifi that doesn't have internet access.
