TPB is not nearly the best torrent site for ebooks, not by a long shot. I'm not going to list any websites here, but there are other torrent sites that are much better for ebooks than TPB. Warez forums are good also (as you pointed out), but they have approximately the same files that are found on torrent sites (but they have much slower download speeds and/or limited downloads per day and/or time limits between downloads unless you buy memberships to the file hosting/downloading websites (rapidshare, megaupload, etc).
