try going to Project Gutenberg and also The Classic Reader Library.
All books there are free. Using a nice free piece of software called Ybook Reader, you can download the books use your Netbook as an eBook...just like I do. Or just read them online. Tons of free book titles.
good recommendation.
For those who like Science Fiction, Baen.com has a ton of books available on the Free Library.
I always give them a plug, because I like companies that recognise their customers are not thieves.
