idk how many ppl already know about this site, but i really love Standard Ebooks-- they're a volunteer project to take public domain books, often from project gutenberg, and make them nice, pretty, and readable on modern devices. they're pretty much my go-to for anything in the public domain, and i hope you enjoy using the site and maybe donate if you can afford to keep it going!
