Hey everyone at FST,
I have a request for a little help here. Some of you may be a lot more familiar with this than I am: I'm looking for a good source for eBooks (formats aren't really a concern, from what I've been able to find so far, file sizes are so small that they'll usually come with versions for ePub, mobi, and most of the other major formats). I'm mainly a Usenet user, some of you might recognize my name from the NZB -> DVDR section, I try to keep up with all the current scene releases in that category.
EDIT: Duh! I should have mentioned that I'm looking more-so for things like novels rather than magazines, tech manuals, how-to's etc. Stuff by popular fiction writers, "NY Times Best Seller List" things (which, as far as i can tell, means next to nothing, as the cover of every fiction novel seems to advertise that it's on that list )
I'm kind of stuck here, I haven't used torrents since.... gosh I can't even remember, I'll put it this way - last time I was into torrents Demonoid was just getting started and there was this great little site for older PC games called Underground-Gamer that seems to be no more now, which is a shame because that one was freakin' amazing. So I don't have any accounts or anything at any big tracker sites, and honestly I don't know which are good and which are not anymore (the tracker list here on this site has been a big help so far).
Any advice or recommendations would be welcome, as I am so far behind in the torrent scene that I might as well be a n00b
So far my results in searching Usenet have yielded little results, it's hard to wade through the myriad of all that is on there when you're not looking at a categorized list (such as how FST lists things, among other NZB sites). There is an alt.binaries.ebooks - but go ahead and download all those headers... good luck. There's a billion posts of spam/virus/password protected junk.
I got my Dad a Kindle for Christmas, and he's an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction, so I've been trying to load up his brand spankin' new tablet with as much as I can find. Thanks in advance for any help!
