demonoid
Torrent site. Really really good place to find ebooks. Unfortunately you need a code provided by a current user to have access to the torrents. If you do know somebody who is a member though, do ask them if they can provide one for you as it is one of the best place to find ebooks.
TIP: Explore the site and torrents as well. Click on a user's name if they have updated something that you like, to see what else they have updated. Do so, because not everything shows up if you only do a search.
(other torrent sites: isohunt, the pirate bay, btjunkie, torrentz)
gigapedia
TONS of ebooks. Lots of rare find. Membership is free, but closed at the moment, but do check on it once in a while as this site is a gold mine for older and/or rarer books.
UPDATE 16/10 - It seems that gigapedia accepts new members again. So register while you can!
astatalk
Great source for lots of different genre. Lots of romance books as well. Membership is open and free.
4shared search
GREAT place to start your search. No registration required and lots of book format available.
TIP: Search by author, then by title as sometimes files do not have both in their name. You can also click on users' 4shared folders. So if you see a user has uploaded a book you wanted/liked, click on their folder and explore what else they have. It's a great way to find new books, especially since not everything shows up in a search results sometimes.
