The Internet Archive covers things that aren't books and aren't in the public domain, however they have a vast range of public domain books. It's also worth noting they focus more on page scans and PDFs and such, rather than the more readable and cleaned up Project Gutenberg format. But they're definitely good alternatives (although PG would not be a good alternative to the Internet Archive necessarily)
