And that's really the problem: without something easily identifiable to mark your site out, to make it memorable (in a good way), no one is going to bookmark it. But I'm guessing those other small libraries face the same difficulties, so...
For all that I might not agree with you about the usefulness of PDF as a format for online reading, I am sure you are not alone in your preference, hence my earlier suggestion that you try to hook up with other small libraries. You are all, if you'll pardon the oxymoron, doing the same different thing. You are all producing editions of public domain works that you think offer something not commonly found elsewhere. By forming a network of such resources you must surely have a better chance of coming to the attention of people interested in such specialisation. At the moment a person may be lucky to stumble over one or two such sites, but if those sites were linked then finding one would find them all.
You could start a forum somewhere for people running small libraries, perhaps even let in those that are interested in supporting small libraries, and together you can discuss the difficulties and possible solutions. Everyone gets to keep their differences, but everyone gets to benefit from the cumulative presence that networking provides.
Anyway, that's about the best suggestion I have.
