These are Librivox recordings. Hours and hours of listening pleasure there, great for long commutes and other times when your ears are free but your eyes are otherwise occupied.

The author states that easiest way the get free books onto your iBook app it to first get them on your computer and then email them. Not so, eBook Search will present you with a list of titles available on a site, give you a description of a selected title and then put it directly into iBooks. Gutenberg is great, but for syfi fans the would like to read something a little more modern than Wells or Verne, I recommend the Baen library. A number of current authors have made a few of their recent books available for free. Often they are the first book of a series, hoping to get you hooked. It has worked on me and I have found some great reads. I have to second the suggestion to get eBook Search.
