One of very few sites that can truly be called venerable, predating the web itself. They have a zillion classics and other public-domain books. Even better, they have them in multiple formats including plain text and HTML along with the usual eBook formats.

So you can read them on just about anything!

Exactly as the information above says. Definitely includes some of the greatest works, including a great many of Shakespeare's writings.

You will find the world's great literature here, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Thousands of volunteers digitized and diligently proofread the eBooks, for enjoyment and education.

No special apps needed! Project Gutenberg eBooks require no special apps to read, just the regular Web browsers or eBook readers that are included with computers and mobile devices. There have been reports of sites that charge fees for custom apps, or for the same eBooks that are freely available from Project Gutenberg. Some of the apps might have worthwhile features, but none are required to enjoy Project Gutenberg eBooks.
