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.
As I stated in my first post here, this is a great thread topic! And thank you for creating it.

May I suggest, since this thread is not limited to academic presses, expanding the thread's title to read something like, "Open/Free University/Academic/Other High Quality Presses"?
