Project Gutenberg
PG is the oldest archive for online Public Domain eBooks, and they are all free to download. They currently have over 27,000 titles available in several formats including Plucker and HTML, although their dominant format is Plain Vanilla TXT files. As these are just plain text files they are not formatted in a very pretty way (no fancy chapter headings of footnotes), but at least there is a huge library to choose from.

ManyBooks
This project aims to convert all the PG files to the various different formats available including; PDF, Sony Reader, Kindle, Mobipocket (PRC), etc. They provide a really nice service although on the downside, they are still using the PG files so they are still not so pretty to look at.
