I run a 100% free social web resource for teachers and students called eduTecher. (www.eduTecher.net) We have free iPhone/iPad/Android apps available. They are a great place to learn about new free web tools each and every day. Again, just sharing this to be helpful. It is my labor of love and I want to share it with as many educators and students as possible.
"Project Gutenberg is the place where you can download over 33,000 free ebooks to read on your PC, iPad, Kindle, Sony Reader, iPhone, Android or other portable device.
We carry high quality ebooks: Our ebooks were previously published by bona fide publishers and digitized by us with the help of thousands of volunteers.
All our ebooks can be freely downloaded: Choose between ePub, Kindle, HTML and simple text formats.
No fee or registration is required, but if you find Project Gutenberg useful, we kindly ask you to donate a small amount so we can buy and digitize more books. Other ways to help include digitizing more books, recording audio books, or reporting errors.
Over 100,000 free ebooks are available through our Partners, Affiliates and Resources. "
