What is Standard Ebooks?
"Standard Ebooks is a volunteer-driven effort to produce a collection of high quality, carefully formatted, accessible, open source, and free public domain ebooks that meet or exceed the quality of commercially produced ebooks. The text and cover art in our ebooks is already believed to be in the U.S. public domain, and Standard Ebooks dedicates its own work to the public domain, thus releasing the entirety of each ebook file into the public domain. All the ebooks we produce are distributed free of cost and free of U.S. copyright restrictions.
Standard Ebooks is organized as a “low-profit L.L.C.,” or “L3C,” a kind of legal entity that blends the charitable focus of a traditional not-for-profit with the ease of organization and maintenance of a regular L.L.C. Our only source of income is donations from readers like you."

Comments and Reviews
They make the best free ebooks around. Period. The amount of effort and dedication out into their books is astounding. Supports many formats from kepub to Amazon. Seriously underrated
The best place on the internet to find public domain e-books.
Great source of classics and other public domain material that have been formatted and edited for consistent readability, compatible with just about any eBook reader. I've read several books from here and they've all looked great.
All their eBooks are edited and proofread manually by volunteers, not just auto-converted. I've looked into their contributor guidelines: they're very exacting. (Disclosure: I'm considering contributing a book or two when I have time.)
