Good Online Sources for Free Books?

Posted by Cliff on Friday April 8, 2005 @05:38AM from the literature-liberte dept.

hydopower asks: "I recently stumbled upon a collection of online libraries. This was fascinating to me, but too many of them cost money or offer Google Print-like limited functionality. I decided to put together a list of sites that offer free books in a format that would allow a person to actually read through them. As Slashdot readers are known for being well read and for enjoying free things, I figured I'd tap into the knowledge pool here. Any suggestions?"

I can't speak for others, but I buy books, hard cover, paperback and electronic. I have no problem paying for the books I read, but I also appreciate the ability to download the older, public domain, books. I bought my PDA mainly for the purpose of reading books.
Its amazing how some people, who won't even post in the open, are willing to flame people that they don't even know who are attempting to learn.
