One that I know of is the RTF files from Baen Publishing's site (if you like SciFi & MilSciFi):

Nope, PDF files that are A4 size tend to display way too small to read, for that matter. RTF is generally held to be the best format for the nonce.

Yup, you just have to tell the software that you're in the US, and don't ever give it credit card info.
