Very nice, gotta love that public domain law. This is a great idea.

Nice! I hadn’t heard of Planet eBook until now: I’ve been using Project Gutenberg (http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki/Main_Page) for my classic eBook perusal.
The more sites the merrier, though, as I’ve recently sworn off purchasing any new books that can’t be had as eBooks in hopes that others will do the same and speed up the publisher’s conversion to the new format. eBooks are more convenient, most cost-effective and much better for the environment than traditional printed books.
