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!

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.

Plus for those few occasions when you need to search Wikipedia it’s like a swipe and a tap to re-enable Wi-Fi.
No it’s not necessary. I’ve been a Kindle user for close to a decade and never bothered.
I download books from my library with Libby and they don’t expire while airplane mode is on.
Since a lot of books have a wait and Libby lets you delay delivery, I queue up a bunch of books while I’m reading. When I’m done with my current batch, I turn off airplane mode, check out a bunch of books, and then turn on airplane mode just before it’s time to return the first one.
I do this like every 6 months.
I don’t have a PW, but I’m looking at them. Does Airplane Mode stop you from using any tools, or is it smooth sailing?

What does it say when you’re not synced? I keep mine on airplane mode but haven’t had anything like that.
It would stop you from using the email sideload option, which is my favourite way to get books on. But you could turn WiFi on just for that and off again. More of an issue would be sync with the Kindle app, say on your phone. So if you don’t take it everywhere but find yourself stuck and wanting to carry on reading, you can get your phone out and pick up where you left off. Honestly, that’s pretty handy. But everyone’s use case is different.
