Free E-books recommendations?

[pontifex]

I got a Kindle Touch for Christmas and looking for sites with free E-books to download.

I already got a bunch from Amazon, I know about Project Gutenburg. Anything else?

Project Gutenberg doesn't seem very user friendly in that unless you know specifically what you are looking for, its hard to find anything. I'd like to search by genre or ratings made by other people.

I'm mostly looking for sci-fi and fantasy, history, military, and historical and military fiction. I also enjoy the occasional biography, especially about explorers and military people.

Try the baen free library.

The Count of Monte Cristo
The Three Musketeers series
The Prince by Machiavelli

Basically, any book before 192x (not sure of the exact year)

Yeah, got a bunch of those. Looking for more though.

Found a bunch of stuff by the old pulp magazine writers. Edgar Rice Burroughs (I already read his John Carter of Mars books a few years ago), Clark Ashton Smith, etc.

I second this. So many great stories on here.

And if you're looking to buy books, Baen sells them directly from Baen's site, for ~$2-$3, DRM free.
