Try this link, for example:

This should display the title page of a book called "Narrative of the Operations and Recent Discoveries Within the Pyramids", by Giovani Belzoni, published in 1820. In the upper right corner of the page is a "gearwheel" button. Click it and you get a drop-down menu which says:
My Library
Help
Advanced Book Search
Download EPUB
Download PDF
Plain Text
The bottom three items on the menu get you the page scan PDF (which is what I always download), a horrible ePub generated from uncorrected OCR on the scanned pages, and the same thing as ASCII text.

Interesting--thank you for pointing that out! I never saw it...my eyes were drawn to the colorful button with the word "free" on it. Sorry...I'm not usually taken in by such things.
