This looks like a miniature version of project Gutenberg. However, more content availability is better. Thanks for the link.

These are some of the sites I've got bookmarked on my computer. Some are more useful than others, and you'll find the same books coming up over and again. In a lot of cases you have to do the conversion yourself. Apologies if I'm repeating sites that other people have already listed.

I'm also a keen reader in foreign languages, and have found some etext sites in Russian, Czech, French, German and Italian. I'll let you have a list when I get time.

Good Thread. I don't know if it exactly fits but one good ebook site for downloading files to sync to your palm is www.memoware.com They support tomeraider, plucker, isilo, doc and other formats...
