Indeed.
I had loaded up my Kindle's download thing with a bunch of free classics from Amazon. When they arrived I was very disappointed at the poor quality of them.
Here is where you should look first. It's sort of a toss up between manybooks and feedbooks after that. Probably look on feedbooks first. Their selection isn't the biggest, but some of the older manybooks books for Kindle don't actually have TOC or chapters (like from 2008?), only the recent ones do.
For obscure stuff try the internet archive (archive.org). They have a lot of books scanned in for various projects. Generally these are just OCR dumps, but generally they are readable. (They also typically have the image files they were scanned from, so that might be an option on a DX)
In a few cases, Gutenberg is the best. For some of the old SF magazines, they will have the interior artwork for stories, while feedbooks/manybooks often omit them. But as a tradeoff, you get somewhat weird formatting from there.
