Good point,
Gutenberg has a HUGE number of titles, but Feedbooks also has a few you wont find on Gutenberg, so it works both ways.
Yet another source is
Manybooks
In some cases Manybooks and Feedbooks actually draw on Gutenberg for source text and then reformat it.
It is good to know about several sources though, in case you are looking for a hard to find title.
I think Feedbooks has the best formatted EPUBs, with Manybooks running second, and Gutenberg a VERY distant third. Gutenberg's EPUBs, when they do have them at all, tend to be bare-bones unformatted text with no cover, no Table of Contents, no nothing (except occasional typos and weird formating codes, which sometimes creep in)
Also Gutenberg mucks things up with several pages of really silly and pretty much meaningless legalese at the beginning of every title (I guess the worthless lawyers wanted to feel like they were contributing something).
I suggest that you check out some identical titles from all three and pick your own favorite.
