Interesting site. However it's a bit overwhelming. You need to have a fair idea of what you want before trying this site.
If you are "looking for a good book", this site won't help much. But if you are "looking for a book by <author> or a book on <subject>", this is probably the place to go.

Yes, but their content seems to be all PDF.
PDF is not an eBook format. It's a page layout format. Since most books are not iLiad-sized, the odds that you will find a PDF here that is readable on the iLiad is very low.

Project Gutenberg clone. Not to say that they don't have good stuff, though.
Unfortunately, the content seems to be arranged to be read online. Not on an eBook reader (i.e. multiple chapters = multiple HTML files).

A little better than barleby.com in that an ebook is 1 big HTML page, making conversion to the iLiad easier.

Not really an eBook site. Lots of old text files from the BBS days. Some of it still pretty good.

You need to sign up for a "free" account (i.e. provide personal information) and I don't see any reasonably-priced eBooks. Everything I see is priced far above print costs.
Online use only (i.e. don't think about reading it on your iLiad) for many titles.

Lots of content, none of it read for the iLiad and many of it in proprietary formats. I used to check this place out daily, but the open/proprietary ratio was getting mighty small, so I stopped.

Yes, very nice. Depending on what you like, this may be the best of the bunch.

Like bartleby.com, they seem to require you to read online, making it not a very good choice for iLiad content.
