Online literature and ebook list

With two small Godzillas rampaging around the house, I've been forced to put 95% of my print collection in storage for its own protection. Free ebooks have been a great blessing to me, and I thought I'd share a number of the best sites I've found for others to enjoy. Many of the books can be downloaded, and I've provided a few links for freeware ebook readers as well.

Enjoy!

Baen Free Library Fantasy and science fiction from some well-known names in the field.
