Best Place For Free EBooks - http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/free-audio-books/

AddALL is a free service that searches for the best deal in books anywhere on-line. It was built by book buyers for book buyers. AddALL is an independent and impartial web site, not owned by any bookstore. The search result is therefore totally objective.

Alex Catalog of Electronic Texts
http://www.infomotions.com/alex/
Librarian Eric Morgan has created an electronic collection of American and English literature, along with works of Western philosophy, with two very unique features. First, many of the documents have concordances which make them searchable online. Need to find a specific passage for a homework assignment? First locate the book (by title or author) and then click on Use Concordance. Second, downloadable PDFs are created on-the-fly, so you can specify your preferred font, page width, and number
of columns.

The Electric Book Company
http://www.elecbook.com/AUTHLIST.htm
From Jane Austen to Oscar Wilde, The Electronic Book Company brings us the best work of forty authors. Rather than a single downloadable file, however, these books are packaged with multiple index files (to improve searching) into ZIP files. This makes accessing this collection is a bit more cumbersome, but their 5.9" x 7.76" page layout is nice, and their selection
excellent.

PD Reader
http://www.pdreader.org
"Read, download, and discover in the Public Domain." The legal term "public domain" refers to works not protected by copyright, such as anything published before 1923. For more details see "When Works Pass into the Public Domain"

http://cidc.library.cornell.edu/copyright/ . PD Reader brings us 930 texts by 370 authors in your choice of PDF, HTML or plain text. This large collection is nicely organized by title, author and genre.

Penn State University Electronic Classics
http://www.hn.psu.edu/faculty/jmanis/jimspdf.htm
Penn State's e-library includes original work published by the university, alongside classic English literature. The classics section totals hundreds of books representing forty-eight authors. I like the Penn State files because many of the books include illustrations, and instead of the usual 8.5" by 11" page size (which is good for printing) Penn State uses a landscape orientation of 8.33" by 6.25" which works very nicely for on screen reading.

Planet PDF: Free PDF eBooks
http://www.planetpdf.com/mainpage.asp?webpageid=2330
PlanetPDF brings us twenty-five popular classics in two different PDF formats: tagged and non-tagged. Tagged files are for those intending to read the books on hand held screens, such as Palm Pilots or Pocket PCs. If this is not you, you can download the non-tagged PDF files, which are smaller. This entry page includes the first ten books (from Dicken's "A Tale
of Two Cities" to Kafka's "Metamorphosis.") To access the rest of the books, use the menu links in the right-hand vertical yellow sidebar.
