I hope that this forum will eventually join the sticky posts in the Deals, Freebies, & Resources forum. This thread’s purpose is to list academic and other high-quality publishers that has many of their e-books downloadable for free. I’ll start off this thread with three of them:

Athabasca University Press
Mostly non-fiction books with a Canadian and Western Canada focus with some fiction and poetry as well. You can download entire books (or select chapters, your choice) for most books on the site in PDF for free.

OpenStax College
Textbooks that are geared towards people taking introductory college/university courses in the most common subjects. Used to have their books available in ePubs but now only PDF and on-line versions are available.

Springer Link
Mix of specialized closed and open access (paid and free) articles, books, etc. from a wide variety of academic fields and in several major languages. Documents are in PDF.

NEW March 2019
Standard EBooks
Appreciate the free books on sites like Project Gutenberg but wish their epub formatting was cleaned-up better, then this may be the site for you. Out-of copyright books are available in epub, epub3, azw3, and kepub. A similar site is Global Grey eBooks, which has more book available but tends to use a lighter hand when formatting the books for specific ebook formats.
