Best download service for ebooks

Hi,

What is the best download website nowadays? Does they pay something or almost nothing?

I mean, I would like to offer ebook downloads through my website, but probably it wouldn't be a good idea to do it from my shared hosting;

So I'm looking for some reliable website which would be good for downloads.
Ebooks would be mostly legal (up to gray), it shouldn't be a big legal issue, the main question is how to organize it the best way?

Ebooks would be mostly legal

Do you mean that they are books written for lawyers?

p.s. Hey mate, your answer could be easily qualified as off-topic;
But generally - yes - in our days everything is for lawyers;
We are living in the days when everything is considered in terms of legal/illegal, compyright, author-rights, etc.

Well, when you are offering material for download, "Do I have the legal right to make this content available?" is a pretty legitimate question.

To put it in "How does following the law benefit me?" terms: It's not much use posting a link, if the said link is liable to be yanked three weeks later due to copyright claims. It's almost bound to make your own site look bad-- unless you're already so big that you can weather all inconveniences.

Requesting clarification of the opening post is arguably as on-topic as it gets.

Ebooks would be mostly legal

Do you mean that some of them would be illegal?

I mean there are tons of crack sites over internet which are using similar download sites as I am looking.
Well, little bit less over the last year, but still are.
So stop trying to catch me on word - English is not my native and I can speak in 5 other languages, but start to answer the question!

I am shocked and stunned to hear it.

stop trying to catch me

I was merely trying to clarify the question in the opening post.

And it seems that I may have succeeded, at least to some extent.

start to answer the question!

I suspect that you will consider any answer I give you "off-topic'.

So I will leave it to other WebmasterWorld members.
