For those unaware, they take public domain books and create really high quality, free versions that can be read on any ereader or online. Every book also has an oil painting that is also public domain chosen to be its cover.

I have discovered a lot of amazing lesser known literature over the years from here, and wanted to suggest it in case anyone had not heard of it. The people running it do amazing work and there seems to be a steady stream of three or four new releases almost weekly.
