Method 3 of 3: Stealing books

1. 

   Know what you are doing. In these days and in this era, an ordinary author makes less money than ever before from selling books. In addition to J.K. Rowling or Christopher Paolini could make a fortune writing, and hundreds of thousands of other authors are making money from unrelated jobs to pay for their daily lives. When you steal a book, movie, or music, you're stealing some money from the authors (anyway, they can't go on tour and take $ 10 in advance to make up for the difference. deviation). If you enjoy this, go out and buy a new book as soon as possible.

2. 

   Use peer-to-peer networks. Since the e-book files are quite small, one of the most effective ways to download them is through a peer-to-peer network like Soulseek or Ares Galaxy. Download and install one of these programs (or a similar one) and do a search by the title or author you want.
   • Keep in mind where the program stores the finished files so that you don't lose track of what is downloaded.

3. 

   Torrent. You will need to first download a BitTorrent client like µTorrent, and then look for the torrent file online. Torrent files are not illegal by themselves, so they usually won't be too hard to find. Torrents are a great way to download a large number of books at once, but if you're looking for a particular book, you'll probably have less luck. Once you find something you like, download it and it will open in your Torrent browser. Torrents are typically faster than peer-to-peer networks.
   • Once a torrent is downloaded, you have a choice whether to share it or not. Sharing it will allow someone else to download it easier (and if no one else shares it, you will never be able to download it), but it also puts you at greater risk of sharing illegal files. Canceling a torrent after it's done is considered bad practice in the torrent community, but it's also the only consequences you have to face.

Always let your antivirus program work while you are downloading files this way.
