A terrific site for free books in different formats

http://manybooks.net

The perfect web site for those who are looking for books in electronic format. Unlike Project Gutenberg (www.Gutenberg.net), which provides books mainly in text format, this site provides books in a host of formats including PDF and also special formats for portable devices, including PDAs and iPods. And of course, all the books here are free to download. There are some really good pickings here, ranging from classics to biographies to thrillers.
