Here are some links to sites with free e-texts.

I realise that some may have been posted before &/or there is likely to be repetition across the various sites:

Simon Morden's "Heart"

http://www.simonmorden.com/books/heart/heart-ebooks/

Free but you can donate via Paypal. It's a pet project of the author using his first/out-of-print novel to see how e-publishing works.

Re: One-and-only free "e-text" thread

Perusing the Online SF Encyclopedia just now I happened across a reference to a now defunct but apparently much-admired online 'zine which has an archive containing free fiction and non-fiction (including Bruce Sterling's Schism Matrix columns) here:I think it looks like a wonderful resource. As is the aforementioned SFE.
