So, /lit/... are there any private book trackers? I've recently obtained a Kindle, and I love it. However, I've spent waaaaaay too much on ebooks already (being poor is fun!), but there's still some novels I'd like to grab.

bibliotik

But unless you are super anal about organization or have specific eclectic tastes (they have a great collection of magazine archives, for example) some public site will probably do you fine. Library.nu is prolly the best but look at the sticky for more guidance.

If you try all those and fail to find something, I doubt bibliotik will have it either, but let me know and I'll look.

There's certainly some ambiguity with the character, at least. From the beginning we're supposed to question fundamental aspects of his intelligence and honesty. I always figured he was the most basic element of chaos that proved the idealized viewpoints of intellectualism, goodness and passion in the other brothers couldn't work in the real world. Thus I kinda just didn't think he had any actual ideals himself, but I dunno, there's certainly something more to him anyways.

Yeah :/ I can't wear my track shorts around the house without him smacking his lips REALLY loud or pretending to bump into me or pushing me in the couch. He's from Czech or something so he can't speak that well.. and he's a Fat slob basically. At night I hear my door creak open and think 'oh there's creeper again' and try to sleep. I usually can't :/

Sorry bro, but they dont really exist yet.
There was a booksbay that was started up a while ago, but it turned into a fucking spam/id theft honey pot quickly.

Best advice is to check the ususal places(Demonoid, isohunt, btjunkie, piratebay) and if they fail, try Filestube(checks rapidshare and megaupload) Than, if that fails, just google the title of the book with .mobi or .epub at the end. You'll usually find a link to mobilism.com that seems to have a pretty competent collection of people seeking out and posting books.

You're at a disadvantage with the kindle though, since now a days more people are keen on working on epubs, what with them being a far more open, readily-modified file format.

You can also ask here. There's a few people(myself included) who have a somewhat large collection who will go out of our way to upload and share what we have already found/fixed(and yeah, finding the book is about 1/20th the battle. You'll have to fix that shit up too since 95% of whats put up is a horrid mess of formatting)

Once again, id like to recommend /lit/ form a proper community thread to help make all this easier.
