Here's one of the cleanest and
FUNCTIONAL looking websites around, where you can find a nice selection of free ebooks:
Diesel ebooks.
Diesel ebooks does NOT suffer from what I call "
Gastrointestinal Bowel Syndrome," which includes so much clutter you'd think the Titantic had settled on your doorstep and dead people were littering your lawn.
Here's their link:

Their Design Philosophy:
I don't understand why more people don't adapt to something similar to this.
Here's your choice (the way I see it):
1) You can click on a website and see a chaotic-looking mess that looks like something the dog dragged in from outside, or -
2) You can click on a website and see a choice of download formats in two columns, one for MobiPocket and one for Microsoft Reader. Below each format column, you can choose
Title, Author, or Subject.
What would you choose, number one or number two?
I urge every web designer to start utilizing paradigm number 2 and "run with it," rather than "having the runs," as we say in the South when what you've eaten comes out hard and fast soon after having eaten.
Diesel ebooks has this at the top of their web page: "
Our free ebooks include over 413 Authors with over 750+ titles."
A definite winner.
