Anybody have any recommendations for public or private trackers for ebooks? Looking mainly for epub files.

I personally found IRC to be the best solution for ebooks. Not sure how much detail/links are allowed here but theres plenty of guides. Look for “IRCHighway ebooks” on your preferred search engine

Interesting I’ll have to look into that. I noticed that I could barely find anything from my normal sites as they are primarily for video.

This is usually my first place, for fiction books. Hardly ever walk away empty-handed.

Just want to add for anyone who might attempt this, my IRC client of choice is Pidgin. Open source and works on windows as well as Linux (not sure about iOS). Most tutorials suggest the good old mIRC, but using it after the trial period increasingly becomes a pain with its wait screen with timer.

To answer directly, MAM is a great private tracker for many reasons, including their epub library. Bibliotik is supposed to be good but harder to get in.

For other options, have a look here.

Why the downvotes? Lol

People don’t like TPB because it is infamous for being packed with malware and sketchy uploads. I assume people were downvoting because there are a lot of safer and more reliable options for epub sourcing

I don’t think anyone is retarded enough to download a exe file when searching for a epub

Z Library always does well for me.

Agreed. Never had an issue finding anything on zlibrary. Gives you the format you want for whatever device needed.

And with Kindles moving to epub shortly, no need to arse around with converting to mobi.

They’re not though. They only do over the cloud conversions from epub to an amazon proprietary format, that can make the covers or formatting go awry.
