Just looked at the Online Book Links page.

I suggest it's worth a mention that many public libraries, at least in the UK, Australia and the US, allow downloading eBooks. And some public libraries allow visitors to join as well as locals.
Pro : it's usually free ; most of the books are reasonably modern ; you can read on your PC or by using a reader app on your tablet.
Con : most libraries don't have many eBooks (that is, in the hundreds although some have thousands) ; some only allow eBooks to be borrowed for 7 days, although others allow up to 21 days ; some libraries only allow eBooks to be downloaded to the PC/tablet when you are in-country (inconvenient if you are travelling out of country).
