Books for a Buck: Specializes in affordable novel-length fiction. We do sell many of our books through Fictionwise and Mobipocket, but some of our books (especially our cheapest books) are available only through the publisher website. Also, new books are on sale for only $1 during their first month of availability-before they go on Mobipocket, Fictionwise, or other distributors.

(Baen, PG, ManyBooks etc are on the list)… no warez.

Baen: They have many in their free library. None of their books have DRM, they are reasonably priced and they have many formats. Unfortunately they are somewhat specialized in military related SciFi and they currently do not support the LRF format used by the Sony Reader. However they do have formats that can be used with the Sony, e.g. RTF, and also have Mobipocket, MS .lit, HTML, Palm & Rocket/Ebookwise. They do have a few books by other publishers as well, e.g. Tor.

Penguin GroupI like this site because it has a special interest grouping.  So if you are into African American literature, this site has the best selection I’ve seen and I didn’t have to search for it.  Other special interest groups include Latino literature, parenting, and short reads.  Prices on some of the books are more expensive than other e-book stores.  Site sells paper books and not all include an e-book version. Also some selections include an excerpt of the book.

Cyberread

Site contains over 40,000 e-books in a variety of formats.  Not all formats available for every title.  Good selection of categories that may be of interest to professionals and students in addition to fiction novels.

Diesel E-books

Good selection of children fiction and religious fiction.  Formats include MS reader, Palm reader, and Adobe.  Diesel also sells bundles and offer free e-books.  Free e-books are mostly classics and require you use MS reader.

Digital Book Index

If you are looking for free e-books, this is must go to and bookmark place.

The site links to more than 137,000 titles from 1800 non-commercial and commercial publishers, universities and private sites.  If you need some help in find articles for research, this site and really help you find more resources.  Great for all types of students and us regular folks too.

Readers ‘R Us

This is mainly a place to get classic books for free.  They also offer free MP3 audio too.  I found this site when looking for children books.  The site is not very user friendly when it comes to navigating through the categories.
