There's also a site called LibriVox where volunteers create audiobooks of public domain works and put them out in the public domain for free. The internet is still a good place sometimes. https://librivox.org/

Between this site and Project Gutenberg, I've downloaded dozens of ebooks.

I've been using Episteme as my reader. It also has a FOSS version Episteme Reader.

@TallSimon @mqsalmon I've bookmarked both of these. Thanks!
