Yeah, there are tons of lists out there that have a million crappy book links. Here's one with a few good links.
This list created with the Sony PRS-505 in mind.
For Almost Anything;
MobileRead - Go to the "Search E-books" tab, and enter in something. While it may be a bit hard to actually find the books, the books you get are inarguably the best on the internet.
Then Feedbooks - This website is for what you can't find on MobileRead. For the most part they're good, but MobileRead's posters go over the book by hand to check for typos and errors in scanning.
Then Manybooks.net - ManyBooks comes last because they don't give a table of contents in their automatically generated ebooks. At least it's a step up from reading Gutenburg .txt files.
Another Helpful Hint
DOWNLOAD CALIBRE! - Calibre is a very important tool for anyone with anyone with an ebook reader. It can manage your ebook library (personally I prefer Sony's stuff because it paginates), it can convert from one format to another, but most importantly, it can download RSS feeds and convert them to eBooks. There are plenty of pre-made "recipes" for English-speakers, and a few in other languages. Definitely check this program out.
More Random Free Stuff
Free Online Novels.com - About half the novels on this page have PDF versions; those are the ones you can use on your Sony Reader. Personally, I convert them to LRF with Calibre.
Free eBooks Just Published - eBooks Just Published is a blog that tells of an eBook each day. This link goes specifically to those eBooks that are free.
Baen Free Library - A bunch of free science fiction novels, all in nice happy LRF format. Perfect.
