Looking through Kindle books on the Amazon site, I am seeing books for sale that are in the public domain (found on Gutenberg, ManyBooks, etc).
Is this legal? Should I quit my day job and start an 'e-publishing' house for pd books?

Certainly it's legal - have you never seen a work by William Shakespeare or Charles Dickens in a bookstore?
You can do anything you wish with a work that's in the public domain, including publishing it, selling it, etc.
