| PDAref: < http://pdaref.homeip.net/ebooks.htm>
Books are in Franklin Reader and Mobipocket Reader format, with some in .lit format (uggghh). Mostly from Gutenberg.
Has a few big books (all the Sherlock Holmes books and stories combined into a single ebook, first 8 Tarzan stories combined into a single ebook, and the first 25 Tom Swift adventures combined into a single ebook). Also has reference books (scrabble dictionaries, Websters 1913 dictionary), Bibles, and similar. | |

| The Million Book Project < http://www.archive.org/texts/collec...on=millionbooks> Quote: |
Pioneered by Jaime Carbonell, Raj Reddy, Michael Shamos, Gloriana St Clair, and Robert Thibadeau of Carnegie Mellon University, the goal of The Million Book Project is to digitize a million books by 2005. The task will be accomplished by scanning the books and indexing their full text with OCR technology. The undertaking will create a free-to-read, searchable digital library the approximate size of the combined libraries at Carnegie Mellon University, and one much bigger than the holdings of any high school library. The pilot Thousand Book Project has already been successfully completed and can be accessed here.

Note: Not all the books are in english. | |

| SF & Fantasy Books Online Quote:
For the most part, these are links to full text, completely free science fiction and fantasy stories to be found on the Internet. As always, I am using the broadest possible definition of fantasy & sf, so there need be no debate whether something strictly belongs. I have included fairy tales, myth, and horror, but have omitted what most would consider to be religious text.
In several cases, these are Gopher servers, but your Web browser should handle them just fine. Quite a few novels are illustrated, or make good use of the hypertext aspects of the Web. The bullet points are color-coded to indicate their type. Let your mouse hover over a bullet point to read what type of site it is, or else place your mouse over the legend link above for a pop-up explanation.

| Since I find it quite impossible to download any large # of eBooks from these sites (navigate in, down, back up up the web site tree over and over and over again), I'm yet waiting for a good archive accessible either via FTP or available on CD. Let me know what that comes along ! | |

Automatically generates fairly nicely formatted copies of Guttenberg texts in Doc, iSilo, iSiloX, Plucker, PalmReader and a few others I forgot. It's really quite clever, you go to a book and there's a drop-down box where you select the format you want. If that book in that format has already been requested then you just download the cached copy. If it is a new request then the web site runs the Guttenberg text through the necessary convertion and formatting tools to generate the format you requested.
I use PalmReader and, although the formatting isn't flashy, it is at least not "broken", i.e. no line breaks in the middle of paragraphs. It also generates a chapter index. I haven't tried other formats.
The owner of the web site also seems responsive. I emailed him some comments and he made a point of getting back to me with a quick reply before going on holiday.
