Hey Everone,
I have a NC and I see everyone saying how they have hundreds of epub magazines and books that they sideload, etc...
I was just wondering where everyone gets their epub media, either free or paid? What are the best places to look?
Any advice for a noob with a Nook would be appreciated.
Look in torrent sites. There's a bunch.

If you have Usenet access try the alt.binaries hierarchy and look for e-books. Tons of ebooks of all types.

If you happen to come across some books and magazines in the places the others suggested you can use calibre to convert them to epub format.
I like O'Reilly books because you can get them in multiple formats at any time once purchased including ePub and PDF. They run ebook specials all the time, so I'd recommend getting on their mailing list if you like tech books.
My Library. I can literally borrow tons of eBooks and AudioBooks straight from their Website. Sure they Expire after 2 weeks but hey, I didn't spend a cent and didn't break a single law. Usually I read a book once anyway.
And of course there are sites out there that let you buy a Book without Den but sometimes they charge a Premium or the selection sucks. Of course these are the Legal ways that don't involve buying from the Big 3(Google, B&N, Amazon)
You can go the Gray route of course, namely Shady sites or torrents but the dificulty of finding a book or magazine varies depending on popularity. It can be fairly simple and easy, or cost you hours of time and be near impossible. Also you usually have to know what your looking for beforehand, unlike other places that help you find books you might be interested in.
There's my 3ยข.

my biggest issue with torrents is that there are so many fake ebooks out there, for those who have downloaded tons that way, how can you be sure they're the real ones? For example, when harry potter book 7 came out, the ebook that was out there actually only had 3 chapters of the real story and the rest of the ebook was fan fiction! Someone put it out there to mess with people.
My second biggest issue with torrents is I don't like to bootleg (anymore). Although they charge an outrageous price for ebooks on the big 3.

Also, you might download laputa app...it's stores are all international and have less-than-legal books on there.
You can buy ebooks at www.baen.com in multiple formats (including epub) - all without DRM.
I know a good site to read manga and always up to date but they dont have all manga as well as all chapters just the latest ones but its good. here it is: mangastream.com
I read manga! There's a website I go to that's always updated and for awhile I've only kept track of one of them. I've completed two mangas so far and I'm a lazy reader haha. I used to use onemanga until that stopped. As of recently, I'm using http://www.mangahere.com/. I haven't explored completely but they seem to be updated weekly with the manga I'm reading.
I'm using mangastream.com as well, and also manga.bleachexile.com because it has such a big range of mangas compared to mangastream.

Agreed. Hav not read a manga in decades.....
I read a bit of manga, usually MangaStream or Bleachexile seem to be pretty good.
Sometimes I read older series so I just download the entire thing and read it on the bus
yes... pluto, naruto, initial-d, hajime no ippo..
reading naruto and one piece every week,
watching naruto only
thinking about reading bleach, too
the naruto manga is getting intense.....the eight and nine tails are on the loose and so is mandara and the giant human statue........let the battle BEGIN!
+1 and say "naruto!!!!" if naruto is gonna come out on top.....just he might come close to dying while doing so
I really loved getting to read daily comics on webOS with Comics HD. I only see comic book readers when doing a search for something similar on Android. Has anyone seen an app than works in the same manner by allowing you to read comic strips?

I use an app called 'comic strips '. I got from market (play, now), but I couldn't find it now. It's version 1.7,maybe a google search will turn it up. If you can't find it, post again and I'll put it in Dropbox or something and send you the link.

One issue is that many of the comics aren't licensed to be viewed from an app... In many cases the original artists or publishers find out and shut down the apps, because they're basically being stolen from. Don't know if Comics HD is licensed, or just "flying under the radar" as it were...
But the best way due to that is to add the RSS feeds to google reader and use the Google Reader app.

Yea, that's what i'm using now. It's just a bit cluttered. I loved how Comics HD had it all organized together under one roof. In any case, that's an angle I hadn't considered, and would explain why there isn't anything really close on Android.

Not on this forum, keep away from requesting warez or other pirated materials.

Exactly what I wanted to say!
Loads of ways to do it, and I must admit I am a pirate,
but this forum is not for warez, so google yourself into it
