Review (below) from the Internet Scout report:

14. Manybooks.net
http://www.manybooks.net/

There are a number of places to get books online, but this recent
addition to that cadre of websites is definitely worth a look. The staff
members at Manybooks.net have adapted the e-texts created by the Project
Gutenberg DVD and placed them online in a host of formats, including
pdf, eReader, and as Palm document files. Visitors can begin by browsing
by author, title, category, or language. Some of the languages covered
in the database include Dutch, Esperanto, Swedish, Tagalog, and Welsh.
Satisfied visitors can also submit a list of five of their favorite
books so that other users may take advantage of their favorite reads.
Some of the recently recommended titles include Jude the Obscure, Silas
Marner, Ecce Homo, and New Grub Street. Persons attracted to this site
should also take a look at the ebook cover page, where they can peruse
the covers of some of the many books contained within the archive. Some
of the more compelling covers include those for As a Man Thinketh
authored by James Allen and a rather lovely cover for Under the Lilacs
by Louisa May Alcott. [KMG]
