Good ebook sites.

I know there's a bunch on pirate bay, but i'm interested in a site where you could search by, i don't know, genre, and use it to find books you didn't already know about. But i mostly just want to find one that has the books you'd normally have to buy and not just the 100 year old books that are no longer copyrighted and are offered for free that every site i find only seems to offer. 
 

Hello,

I'm afraid I don't know that many sites, but you may google for "ebookee". At that site, you'll find several categories/genres, but keep in mind that not all books there have "download links".

I downloaded myself over 83 GB of e-books, but I got most of them via torrent sites. For example, type into google "torrentz" - and at that site, just type "e-books" into the search mask. I know that if you're looking for something specific, this search method might be awkward, but if you're just interested in browsing stuff, it's still good. That way, I got myself tons of material, ranging from novels to scientific literature, sports, arts, etc.

Which leads me to the next point: it also depends on what you're looking for (of course). Novels are probably easier to come by than (some) science books. And among the science books, things like biology or chemistry books are usually easier to find than books about legal studies (just an example from my experience).

I'm sure you get the idea; and I hope this helps you a little bit.

Happy reading !
