download shareaza, its a file shareing program you can download free music movies and books. yeah just put shareaza on your search bar find its site and download it.
check out "the gutenburg project" for a lotta online books (& for you trippers out there, check out www.psychedelic-library.org hehheh)
why not just use the library? i've read a couple of books in e-format that i didnt want to wait for from the library/not carried by the library system and it's a bit of a pain
check on the emule network if you dont find what you're looking for simply by googling ( http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/E-Books/ maybe?)
