Has over 60,000 public domain ebooks / magazines. All proof read by humans unlike the wayback machine / Archive org / New Library of Alexandria which only has OCRs of scans and often material that's actually copyright.

Also the library here is good.

fadedpage in Canada is good if you live anywhere with life + 50 copyright restrictions.
If you’re going to be scrupulous about copyright, then Gutenberg.org, as it reflects US copyright law, includes books that are still in copyright in life+50 and life+70 regions and which shouldn’t be downloaded. Similarly, if you’re in the US, the MR library has books not yet in the public domain.

On the other hand, there’s no reason why anyone couldn’t use Faded Page to access books in PD in their own region, even if it’s not Life+50.
