The ebooks in this site's library are all public domain and you may legally download them for free (although it does depend, to a degree, on the jurisdiction you're in).
There's no law preventing a book store from selling you books that are in the public domain. But, it's not legally necessary to buy them. Caveat emptor.
The works of all the authors you mentioned are still very much under copyright. Everywhere. World-wide.
You will find no copyrighted books on this site. (And if you do, please let a moderator know, ASAP.)
EDIT: In this same thread you will find the topic: Kbook: My new favourite rip-off "publisher" -- a publisher that is happily selling public domain books that you can (legally!) download free here at MR.
