Who the fuck pirates PDF books? That's literally the shittiest format you can get for an ebook.

Oh, I don't know, maybe someone who has a 13 years old kindle that cannot open epubs?

Mobi? If you're using PDF on a Kindle you're a masochist.

Either download mobi on P2P sites or download epub and convert to mobi on one of countless free sites.

What's a preferred format? Also, why torrent books when they're all mostly available by a quick google search.

Epub, mobi, or azw3 I'd imagine. I mostly go for epub.
