Over 1000 free ebooks
Mainly classic titles.

Also some modern material some of which is only partially free.
eg The Molecular Biology Web book gives no sign initially of being 
anything but free but has chapters 4-10 "locked". They are of course 
entirely entitled to charge for anything they wish (public domain or 
other) BUT it would be nice if they said what was really free up 
front.

Classic titles appear to be entirely free.

Files come in zipped and "EXE" form.
I am (understandably) wary of running exe files from unknown sources 
but these seem to be benign, well behaved and easier to use than the 
zipped versions. YMMV !!!! That said, the files are somewhat clunky in 
operation. I think that a straight single text or HTML file would be 
superior. For example, "The collected poems of Rupert Brooke" (s?) has 
no index and is hard to find your way around.

"The Space Pioneers" is not what it sounds and is unlikely to be of 
interest to many.

  Now Beowulf bode in the burg of the Scyldings,
  leader beloved, and long he ruled
  in fame with all folk, since his father had gone
  away from the world, till awoke an heir,
  haughty Healfdene, who held through life,
  sage and sturdy, the Scyldings glad. ...
