PD has to do with the country in question. So when you download a PD eBook here, check that it is PD where you want to repost it. If not, you can't legally do so. For example, if an eBook is PD in Canada, but not the USA, then you cannot put it up on a server in the USA under it becomes PD in the USA.
The eBooks that were done with the author's permission cannot be reposted unless you obtain permission from the author.
The eBooks that are under a Create Commons license you can repost.
