A Very Nice Collection of E Books for the MS Reader
Abacci eBook offers a very nice collection, formatted for the Microsoft Reader -- all free, no DRM copy prevention schemes.
The books are mostly drawn from the University of Virginia's E Text Library
If you'd prefer to do the conversion yourself (perhaps to Palm Reader or some other format), take a look at the main Abacci Books Plain Text site instead: http://www.abacci.com/books/default.asp
