http://www.archive.org/index.php

(Archive is amazing in that it picks up so many materials it's unbelievable, use the beta EPUB button on the left menu for downloading EPUB books easily. it has worked well for me)

Project Gutenberg's List of Affiliates and Partners (search all of these including Project Gutenberg)

http://apuritansmind.com/

http://www.puritansermons.com/

There are many, many, many more websites, but this small sampling should get you started.

Yes you can actually take HTML files and put them in chapter by chapter and compile them into a book, Ecub is your solution.

for example: downloading these html pages via downthemall and popping them into ecub give me a very nice ebook all separated by chapters.

PDF --------------> EPUB: http://epub2go.com/ (special thing is that with STANZA (aforementioned iphone/ipod touch app you can convert the PDF to EPub on your iphone/ipod touch on the go)
HTML/TXT ------> EPUB: http://www.juliansmart.com/ecub

If you'd still (for some reason) like to use PDFs to read, buy PDFExpert from the apple app store. Good price for a good app.

Other Recommended Apps:

Kindle for Iphone/Ipod App

Very good app for books you actually want to buy and read. I've bought 3 books via it and it has worked nearly flawlessly. Had to re-install it once, but besides that perfect.

There is also a Kindle Reader for the PC coming soon so you can read your purchases on the computer.

Here is a list of Kindle Christian E-Books for Free to download:

Affirming the Apostle's Creed by J.I. Packer
Concerning Christian Liberty by Martin Luther
The Life of John Bunyan by Edmund Venables
Martin Luther's Small Catechism by Martin Luther
On Calvinism by William Hull (not sure if this is positive or negative, just to let you know)
Orthodoxy by G.K. Chesterton
Selections from the Tabletalk by Martin Luther

There are many, many more by classic Christian authors like Spurgeon, Edwards, and Calvin for decent prices usually under $5. I would recommend to look carefully at the ratings because not all kindle books are formatted equally.

InstantPaper is another app I'd highly recommend if you want to read your favorite blogs on the run. There is a free version and a pro version.

So, what about Bible apps?

Honestly the best is the newly-released Logos Iphone App while the the two that tie (in my opinion looking at all the various options) is the Reformation Study Bible App from Acrosoft and the OliveTree Free Reader from OliveTree. The Reformation Study Bible is the only 5 starred bible application and it deserves to be. Greek text, JFB commentary, and treasury of scriptural knowledge all integrated very well for $18.

The Olive Tree Free Reader gives you tons of free books and translations all for free, just go download them on their website.

http://www.bibletree.com/store/home.php?cat=259&free=y

One of the best free downloads is ten years of John Piper's sermons which is an astounding free giveaway.

Honestly though what I wanted the most was a free ESV and that's what Logos has delivered on along with all of its other great features which you can go look at for yourself. Unfortunately those who have Logos 3 (not the newly-released 4) will not be able to use the desktop sync function, but I found a way around it which has worked flawlessly so far

Let's talk for a moment about Logos. I love Logos, I have an older version of Logos therefore I can't use the shiny-new Logos 4 desktop sync unless I upgrade. As much as an upgrade would be awesome I don't want to spend money for it right now. So here is the solution to all of us who are want to read your books or resources on your iphone/ipod or any other mobile reader application that can view Epub.

Open Logos
Open the resource you want to make an epub
Select a chapter - copy - paste to notepad IMPORTANT when you save it, it won't work unless you change it to UNICODE or UTF-8 (ANSCI won't work in Ecub)
Alternatively you can just drag, select the entire book, and copy it to notepad and save it.
either way, open up ecub and put it in the settings (COOL FUNCTION: If you want to have the actual cover all you have to do is copy the cover of the book in logos and save it to paint or save the cover of the book on amazon and use either one of those as the cover)
After you've put the text files in place press compile and you are done
upload to: http://bookworm.oreilly.com/library/ or add it to your mobilereader app somehow
use stanza to download it via your iphone

future church planters (and anyone else who wants to read recently-published books for free)

I'm rather surprised, but there are a few good books freely available to read on google books which are recently-released books by really smart church planters.

Church Planting from the Ground Up

Discovering Church Planting

A Vision of the Possible

Missional House Churches

Here is the search I used to find these and others: Church Planting for books published between 1990 and 2009

I found these using a little-known powerful search function of google books, the advanced search

Learn how to use it and you will save lots and lots of money on books.

NOTE: This works only for on your computer, but wow, it's still pretty amazing how many recently published books are available to read freely online.

UPDATE: In the process of writing this I found a work-around. I'm too dang good at this.

Open Safari
go to google.com
don't select google books from the drop down menu
SEARCH google book
click the first link
Bingo you can now read those full-view books same as the PC way.
